about
HI THERE, I’M RIONNA RONI.
A mom, storyteller, and senior leader at one of South Africa’s top banks.
I wear many hats, but at the heart of everything I do is a deep desire to empower children and individuals to believe in themselves. My journey has been shaped by personal growth, academic achievement, and motherhood — each playing a key role in the work I do today.
My first children’s book was born out of a very personal experience with my firstborn. Like many parents, I’ve faced those moments where I wished I had the perfect words or tools to help my child navigate big emotions. That experience inspired me to create stories that do just that — offering comfort, lessons, and practical tools for children and their families.
With an MBA and a career rooted in business analysis and leadership, I bring both heart and strategy to every project. I’m still active in the corporate world, but I’m equally passionate about using my voice, my stories, and my platform to help others grow — emotionally, personally, and professionally.
Whether you’re a parent, a child, a student, or simply someone looking for inspiration — I hope my journey reminds you that it always seems impossible until it’s done.
