What a premature loss. A life beyond its years. We celebrate you little Tlotlo. We celebrate your parents who dared to believe in the audacity of your dreams.
How many more books your life would have created for a country that so desperately needs young authors. 🥹♥️
A Notice from Nal’ibali.
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Tlotlo Tsheka, one of our bright and promising ambassadors, who passed away after a short illness.
Tlotlo was a gifted young writer and illustrator who began creating stories at an extraordinary age. At just five, she wrote I Remember When, which includes Mommy is Sick and My Arm Hurts, reflecting on caring for her mother and everyday childhood moments.
At six, she wrote Mommy’s Secret, a playful story capturing a special secret shared between a mother and daughter. She went on to self-publish her books, sharing her creativity and imagination with young readers.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and all who knew and loved her.
Tlotlo’s stories are part of the legacy she leaves behind. May her memory continue to inspire young storytellers.
Rest in peace, Tlotlo.
Oh my baby, such a joy to hear you tell of the journey. You broke the ceiling. You have us reaching for more because of your courage. 🤎
My beautiful @Ceehl said the medal must reach Bryanston and it did. Then I start crying all over again because she just wanted to hear everything, I’m so happy that I had someone listen to it all. I feel so seen and loved. You are only a novice once!

Iranian hairstylist Ami Moghadam received death threats for posting videos of women receiving haircuts on Instagram.
So she decided to troll the Islamic Regime and their oppressive mandatory hijab laws in the most epic, hilarious way possible. 😂
