Sharing a video of herself preparing for a birthday surprise picnic which she planned for her 13 year-old mother of one her granddaughter at their local dam, Tusaiwe detailed, "Today was my daughter's birthday, she has just turned 13 years old. She also has a daughter who has turned one year old. I decided to do this to make it a memorable day for them. For myself I got pregnant at the age of 16 and gave birth to my son at the age of 17. I've always wanted to support young single mother's like myself because I understand how hard it is to be a single mother, how hard it is to be a young mother, how hard it is to drop out of school. How hard it is to do everything when you're just alone."

Farai Diza (FD): What inspires your poetry? Natalia Molebatsi (NM): I am inspired by words and how they are able to influence conversations. Through poetry we can also navigate our emotions and experiences, including the joys and trauma that our bodies carry.
