Uncle Waffles decided to pay a visit to a well known High School in the South of Johannesburg, Glenvista High. She went there with the pure intention of motivating the kids to follow their dreams and passions.
Upon her arrival she explained her story. She described her high school experience as one to remember. Waffles says school was never easy for her, as she was not an academic student. She elaborated that she failed quite a few tests but her passion and drive kept her going.

She outlined never giving up on doing what you love, because no one really knew Uncle Waffles until the Adiwele video went viral. And since then she has been all over TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and literally booked at almost every event across the African continent. The Uncle Waffles we know today has been around for sometime grinding hard for the spotlight that she has now earned.
It is quite cool to see her motivating the youth especially at places like school. There are many students who are just like her. And many students who look up to her. These creative thinkers tend to feel demotivated by the schooling system. That’s why Its refreshing for them to hear it from her first hand. Hard work pays off. Finish school and follow your passion right after!
