Summary
I am Mashudu Ravele, a storyteller who loves all things communication. My love for communication has inspired me to write books. I am a self-published author of two indigenous books: Ndi Vhudza Nnyi and Tshisima tsa Dora. I write in Venda as I saw a gap, that there were not many self-published authors that write in Venda. My goal is to have my books translated into many other languages soon. My passion for writing started in my first year when I was inspired by one of my lecturers to start blogging. I have written and published over 450 articles on my personal blog. Life is what you make it, and opportunities are there for those willing to take it. Anything is possible with the right mindset and talent. My determination to succeed sets me apart and makes me thrive in any situation. I love challenges as it builds character and inspires others.
