She is intrinsically inspired to write stories that touch African people whilst sharing her thinking and imagination. Her writing aims at inspiring, motivating and entertaining others, while celebrating the diverse and rich cultures present on the continent.
Yapatula the Princess, set in the pre-colonial Maravi Kingdom (present day Malawi and part of Zambia), is a story for children and teens which bring out the ways of the African people and how their beliefs influence their day to day life and decisions. The story is an enchanted tale of a young Maravi maiden who fights the odds to become the Princess and thereafter next queen to the royal throne of the Maravi kingdom Bertha hopes to inspire an African child through positively transforming the myth that many African children hold about themselves and their culture, history, tradition. Bertha believes that if the African children will embrace their rich African culture and tradition, they will not be lost after all in a world where brainwashing has become order of the day.view less
