Kin by Tayari Jones is a masterclass. This summer I just might be my 100 books for the summer goal like I used to before I became a mom. I have had the absolute pleasure of reading some of the most wonderful work these last few weeks. Here is to a summer of getting lost in words.

Reading books for leisure is always worth it. It enhances your attention span, creativity & vocabulary, while acting as a tool to reduce stress, build confidence & develop valuable skills. It sharpens your analytical and critical thinking, helping you to dissect complex problems

[ON AIR] As South Africa marks Youth Month, we celebrate young people who are doing more than dreaming about the future—they're creating it.
One such trailblazer is Naledi Setzin, a young South African author whose journey reflects the creativity, resilience, and determination that define a new generation of changemakers. #Quantum with

Every morning when I read, I long for a month-long holiday doing nothing but just reading books.

📖📺: 50 Years of TV in South Africa🇿🇦
Thrilled to announce my debut book chapter.
The chapter looks at how TV has shaped public consciousness in post-apartheid South Africa, not just as entertainment, but as a powerful tool for dialogue, education, and social change. Using Yizo Yizo, Soul City, and Emzini Wezinsizwa, I explore how storytelling on screen helped raise awareness and influence public debate.
Grateful to be part of this important contribution to South African media scholarship.

Physical copy got delivered today❤️
My chapter is a labour of love and passion: a love for our culture and television, and a deep passion for expanding scholarship within South African TV and media studies.

On this #MothersDay we honour the mothers by birth, by choice & by spirit, you are the quiet strength behind loud victories. The unseen light behind dreams brought to life.
Your love is not just spoken; it’s lived.
May your day be filled with the same grace you give so freely.

With this book, I hope to reclaim the word mad which has been used to dismiss women for many generations. I hope to turn it from a label to a question.
