Author Sibila Khoeses has launched her book titled "Whispers", which speaks about the inner struggles of every individual and addresses mental health issues. 

Khoeses says "Whispers" allowed her to grow and be who she is. She therefore advised people to open up and speak about issues they are dealing with.

"We are trying here and doing this, and it's a trauma here, it's healing there, it's church here, but do we speak enough about the things at heart, or do we hide them so that only those closest to us can listen while we smile outside to the world?"

Family member Sise Sedi said it is not only a book that is being celebrated but also Khoeses' voice, her courage, her strength, and her creativity.

Sedi emphasised that the book launch should encourage individuals to grow and pursue their dreams with courage and conviction.
