About

Welcome to The Gift Inside, a space dedicated to empowering children to dream big, believe in themselves, and embrace their unique gifts.

I'm Rodna Ntabeni, also known as The Gifted Mama. As an author, international speaker, coach, and youth advocate, I am passionate about helping young people discover their potential and follow their dreams. I'm also the co-founder of HopeReaching United, a community interest company focused on supporting young people to realise their potential and build fulfilling futures.

The Gift Inside started as a dream—a way to inspire children through stories, tools, and resources that build confidence, resilience, and a sense of self-worth. At its core is the book Sienna’s Dream to Dance, a heartwarming story about a young girl who finds her courage and recognises her own gift inside. This story is just the beginning of what we hope will be a lifelong journey of inspiration for children everywhere.

Our collection goes beyond books. We've created journals and affirmation cards to support children on their journey of self-discovery, helping them develop positive habits, embrace their individuality, and take meaningful steps toward their dreams.

At The Gift Inside, we believe every child has something special within them waiting to shine. Our mission is to give children the tools and encouragement to realise their potential and reach for the stars.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we can inspire the next generation to dream big, think boldly, and shine their brightest.

With love,
Rodna Ntabeni (The Gifted Mama)
