Hi! I am Nobuhle N Nyoni.
Professional Yapper, Website Designer, Recovering Over-Thinker & Your Biggest Cheerleader!
I have two superpowers that aid my work. The first is my love for storytelling. When I was in primary school, I was always on the noise makers list. One teacher told my dad, “Your daughter is very intelligent but she will not be quiet.” Was he disappointed? Absolutely! In high school, when my dad was waiting for me to get an academic school prize, I got one for public speaking. Disappointed again! But that is the proof that I have always been a yapper.
The second is my attention to detail. During our consultation calls, I don’t just listen to what you say; I search for the emotion attached to your words because that guides my brain when I am working on your project, whether it is a website or a piece of writing.
But, let’s take it back to the beginning.
Am I A Writer?
I should have known I was a writer when my essay was used as an example in English class. I paid no attention to it and kept reaching for dreams that didn’t have my name on them.
Fast forward, years later, I started blogging for all the wrong reasons. I just needed a place to rant so I could receive little hugs from strangers on the internet. But I quickly realized how powerful writing is and I decided I was going to share my journey and the lessons I have learnt through it.
About 2-3 years in, I wrote a book. It was terrible! I wrote it in 30 days and I have no idea why I thought it was a good idea to sell it to people. But, it was a big learning curve for me. Instead of giving up, I decided to start pitching and writing for bigger publications.
That is when I realized that I didn’t know enough about writing. And for a year, I locked in and I walked out a different writer altogether. A big shout out to all the Editors that gave my words a home and taught me how to adapt to different audiences.
After that year, I started building Young and Oversharing.

And Then Came Design.
As I was figuring out how to write like a pro, I was frustrated by the state of my website. I was using the free version of WordPress and customization was very limited. I was a broke girl who couldn’t afford to pay someone to design a website for me. So, I bought my first domain from a company that was offering free hosting. A friend introduced me to a free builder that I could use and as I was building my website, I fell in love with the process. When it was done, I took a bet on myself and decided I was going to start offering the service and have never looked back since!
Stumbled & Fell In Love With A Mic
The Yapper in me jumped right out when I learned about podcasting. Suddenly, writing alone wasn’t enough. I needed a place to use this voice so all my noisemaker punishments from school would count. But like all crafts, this is not one I honed right away. While all my ideas were great, some were started because I thought hopping onto the trending thing would mean quicker growth. That’s a myth! Then some fell apart because I tried to start them with other people, and somewhere along the way, the excitement died with the dream. I still knew I wanted to sit across from people and hear their stories. So I just kept going until I found a corner that meant so much to me and someone said yes!
In 2024, I made it into the Adventures From The Bedrooms of African Women creatorship. I pitched the idea of the Fat and Horny Podcast, a space where fat women talk about sex, desire, pleasure, and the complexities of living in a body that’s often erased from these conversations. The Adventures From team loved it! So we all got to work, and boy, was it a learning curve for me! It turns out having an idea and a voice is not enough—don’t say I didn’t warn you. The reception was great. I thought that was the end of the road, but I found myself with more ideas, so I went ahead and applied for a grant with Content is Queen, and they too said YES! Season 2 is ready for your ears, and so is Season 1 of the Y&O Podcast.
