My name is Makamohelo Raphuthing. I was born and raised in Lesotho and currently reside in South Africa. I work as an administrator by profession, but my true passion lies in writing.
I began my writing journey in 2019, after spending some time journaling. Writing quickly became my favorite way of expressing myself, it allows me to process my thoughts, reflect on my experiences, and connect deeply with others through words.
Growing up, I never truly knew who I was. My teenage years and school life were filled with challenges and confusion. I struggled to find direction.I moved from one course to another, always feeling a deep emptiness within my soul.
In 2017, I hit rock bottom. That season forced me to slow down, to stop running from myself, and begin the journey inward. It was in solitude that I realized how disconnected I was from my true self. I didn’t know what self-discovery looked like, but I made the decision to spend more time alone and in that stillness, I met myself for the very first time.
In my book The Power of Knowing Yourself, I share my journey of self-discovery with the hope of inspiring others to embark on their own path. Life has never been the same since 2017.
I am deeply grateful for God’s grace, for this opportunity, and for a supportive community that continues to walk this journey with me.
2024 was the year I chose to publish my book. There was a deep knowing within me, a feeling that it was time to share my story with the world and so, I did.
I overcame the fear of being seen, I stand proud of what has been birthed. The Power of Knowing Yourself is more than just a book, it’s a tool that I believe will transform lives, one reader at a time.
