Glory's writing journey began in 1994 with her first drama manuscript. For 13 years, she persisted through rejections and challenges until her breakthrough in 2007 when her drama Tšhelete ya Mma was accepted by Thobela FM. This milestone validated her talent and opened the door to her literary career.
