Tafila said it had been one of her life goals to become a published author. In an interview with Arts&Culture this week, Tafila explained that she developed affinity for writing at a young age.

She stated that whenever she struggled to voice out her thoughts, she preferred to put them across in writing. “I was not really inspired by anyone.
