About The Author

I am Gloria Nomvuyiseko (Manhinhi) Noganta

I am a single mother, grandmother, poet, author and inspirational speaker. I took on casual running, an aspiring Hyrox athlete and CrossFit master.

I am an  author of The Diary of an Old Soul: A Pocketbook of Inspiring Quotations, a book self-published in 2017.

I fell in love with thoughts, ink and paper when I was nine years old which earned me the nick name “The Old Soul”.  bestowed on her by my late mother.

I was born in South Africa, in the Eastern Cape and currently live in Gauteng.

Then the why question

Making a positive impact on myself and others by my words, both written and spoken, has become my pursuit in life.
