Her first book which she was honoured to get Buhle Dlamini do her Foreword on, Life Changes published in the United Kingdom in 2010 is a collection of motivational poems which signifies the phases in life we all go through. Like streams of water, so is our living. Nonhlanhla takes us through some of those common moments which mostly she had to personally undergo.

Nonhlanhla’s life testimony brings to light what kept her going when she felt like giving up.
