The 23-year-old, who is a Master’s degree student at the University of Botswana (UB) and a young mother, is proving to be great epitome for the girl-child.
She is seemingly taking the front seat of her life and will not allow any situation deter her from her goals. Talking to Arts & Culture recently, Letsholo revealed that she never thought she would be publishing another book soon after she published ‘She Found Her Power’.
Letsholo said she got an offer from Dr Phenyo Caiphus who asked her to work with him and another author, Omphile Begwe on ‘Stoicism’. The go-getter she is, Letsholo said she jumped at the opportunity. Caiphus is an author who has published 35 books. “I got an offer from Dr Phenyo Caiphus to write a collaboration book on Stoicism and I saw it as an opportunity to broaden my writing skills from just autobiography writing to other dynamics hence I accepted the offer,” Letsholo said.
In addition, she said she has since fallen in love with the dynamics around Stoicism. Meanwhile, Letsholo disclosed that the book is mainly about sensitising people about inner peace. “Stoicism talks about unleashing inner resilience and peace amidst life’s chaos and about how to navigate challenges with grace, develop emotional strength and embrace a life of purpose,” he explained.
Furthermore, Letsholo elucidated that the core message of Stoicism is to aid in equipping people with practical insights. “The message of this book is adopting practical insights and actionable techniques to cultivate tranquillity, enhance relationships and achieve personal growth as it basically teaches readers to transform their mindsets and thrive in any situation.
Having collaborated with Caiphus and Begwe on the new book, Letsholo stated that she found working with other authors quite an incredible experience for her. “It was an amazing experience to collaborate with other authors who practice different styles of writing and have different initiatives of how to approach the subject matter of stoicism," she explained, adding that both Caiphus and Begwe are amazing Batswana authors whose experiences of relaying message through writing is really impeccable. She said she would be forever grateful to work on the book and produce it with them.
