The 21-year-old Mushayathoni Bridget Nwovhe has recently released her motivational book, Dream Beyond The Slumber. She describes it as a powerful message to motivate young people in Africa.

Nwovhe said that the idea to write a motivational book stemmed from an earlier poem she wrote, Dream Beyond The Slumber. This poem was included in her first anthology, Calendars Time. “People always say a dream is the vision of the night, but a dream is that which pressures slumber,” she added.

“I want people to be hungry to dream and hungry to excel. One day your potential will reward you with property as long as you are dreaming beyond the slumber,” she said.

Nwovhe’s talent became visible when she was still in primary school. She was born and raised in Makonde village, Limpopo. “I write to inspire people. I always want to connect to humanity in everything I do,” she added. She further said that she draws her inspiration from an international renowned author, Maya Angelou.

She aspires to start her own publishing company where she will help young writers to unwrap their dreams. She encouraged aspiring authors to be dedicated and committed. “The best resource is the power of your mind. No man can stop you unless you decide to. Learn to trust the dynamic inside of you,” she said. 

Nwovhe said an online version of her book and hard copies will be available soon and people should keep an eye on her Facebook page: Mushayathoni Bridget Nwovhe. “They can also contact me through my email [email protected],” she added.
