In an emotional announcement shared on Instagram, Modiselle expressed her elation: “Adding author to my resume is unbelievable! This is an unexpected dream coming to fruition after hearing people for years say, ‘When will you write a book Fi?”

Her journey has culminated in a touching children's book titled Zizi's World: Through her Vanilla Eyes, set to be released on June 28.

This literary venture, created in collaboration with Lingua Franca Publishers, aims to empower young readers while promoting themes of inclusion, self-love, and diversity awareness.

The book tells the story of a young girl with albinism who moves to a new city and learns to embrace her uniqueness despite challenges.
