 EVENT: OVERCOMING EMOTIONAL & MENTAL CHALLENGES 


Boinette Mittah Selokela hosts an event under the theme: Mental and Emotional well-being. The event aims to empower young people who are heavily burdened. 


Being in a dark area of life and thinking that no one sees you or cares for you can worsen one's situation and end up being hopeless. That's according to Boinette Mittah Selokela (28) from Modimolle who will be hosting an event that aims to mentally and emotionally empower those who are internally broken. The event is themed: Emotional and Mental well-being. 

Boinette says some people end up committing suicide due to the challenges they are faced with. 

"So I would like the attendees to be empowered to fight whatever battle they might be faced with, with courage and hope - knowing that they’re not alone, there are people who care for them and who want to support them on their journey to mental and emotional well-being," she explained. 

As a Social Worker by profession, Boinette counsel most young people on a daily basis who are overwhelmed by the challenges they come across. She says this is the reason she sees it fit to empower young people on mental and emotional well-being.

"... some people feel like their lives have no meaning and this can lead to depression" 

Mixo Rikhotso and Karabo Mokgosi will be the Speakers of the night. The two were chosen based on their passions for positive speaking. Mixo is passionate about “Purpose”, always encouraging people to follow their purpose in life. "In connection with the event, some people feel like their lives have no meaning and this can lead to depression, so I think she is best to help us realize our purpose and live a life of purpose,"explains Boinette. 

Karabo is passionate about empowering people on mental and emotional well-being. 

"She is the embodiment of strength and determination and knowing her on a personal level, she overcame a lot on mental and emotional issues. So I chose her based on her strengths," adds Boinette.
