Enko Botho School in Gaborone shifted from classroom to calling on Saturday, as Abale Poomor hosted the launch of her first book, The Inner Bloom: Using Your Talent While Young. This was not just a book launch but a gathering of young visionaries, creatives, and dreamers who are tired of waiting for "one day" and are choosing to bloom now.

Poomore, who describes herself as a scribe rather than a writer, took the stage alongside an all-youth lineup. “A writer creates a book from their own imagination, but a scribe records what has been entrusted to them,” she explained. “For me, being a scribe means I am a steward of a message from God and the little experience of the talent I have, motivational speaking,” she stated.

The event featured Miss Teen World Africa Leungo Sephobe, renowned fashion designer Lethabo Nthoiwa, and captivating contemporary dancer Katlego Matheakgomo. Each shared what blooming looks like in their industries. Sephobe and Matheakgomo spoke candidly about the grind behind the glamour, reminding the room that visibility is only the last chapter of a long story.
