Former Miss Botswana, Palesa Molefe, known for her grace and poise on the runway, has embarked on a new chapter in her career - as an author. Her debut children's book, "O Shapo, O Sho?" written in Setswana, aims to empower young Batswana readers through a collection of positive affirmations.
The story follows a young girl who navigates feelings of fear, sadness, and shyness, ultimately discovering the strength within herself through the power of positive thinking. Molefe's book encourages self-discovery and resilience, providing young readers with valuable tools to overcome challenges and build self-confidence.
"I believe that every child deserves to feel empowered and believe in their own potential," shared Molefe. "With 'O Shapo, O Sho?' I hope to inspire young Batswana to embrace their unique qualities and face life's challenges with courage and positivity."
Molefe's talents extend far beyond the world of pageantry. She is also an accomplished actress, producer, and the founder of Botswana United Artists, a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting the value of artists and mental health awareness in society.
With her diverse skillset and passion for empowering others, Palesa Molefe's transition from Miss Botswana to children's book author is an inspiring journey. "O Shapo, O Sho?" promises to be a valuable addition to Batswana children's literature, fostering a generation of confident and resilient young minds.
