Bonolo is a multimedia journalist and content creator at Heartlines. She has experience in online and radio media production and helps spread the Heartlines message on multiple platforms.

One value she believes the world needs most: Respect.
"Respect should be earned, never given, even when a person of authority demands it. They may have superiority—as a parent, as a boss, as a manager—but that does not automatically make them superior. You may feel like you have to comply to them, but you don’t. You are a person too .YOU deserve reciprocated respect."

One value he believes the world needs most: 
"Having a healthy body is very important. You become productive and proactive at your workplace. You can be successful and have everything you need or want in life (like money) but if you are not healthy you will never enjoy your success. I therefore encourage you all to live a healthy lifestyle by doing exercise and having a good diet."
