Khanyi is full of light, questions, and courage. Just like the little girl who inspired her, my big sister. She taught me how to be brave, bold, and endlessly curious. Khanyi carries that same spirit in every story, in honour of my forever friend, the smartest woman in the room, the one I can call at any hour to laugh, cry, or put me straight.

Kokwani is a tribute to the strongest people I know, my parents. They have always encouraged me to follow my dreams, soar into the sky, and reach greater heights. For them, the stars were never far enough, there was always more to strive for. They instilled in me the values of hard work and discipline, and their wisdom dances through the pages of my stories, whispering guidance to Khanyi and to every child who embarks on an adventure with her.
