Dineo, who is currently in New York as part of the Shisanyama USA team along with podcaster Mac G and DJ Tira, took time to advise individuals on their mental health. 

While working, she advised the crowd on mental health, saying:

“Look after your mental health. Look after your heart, look after yourself, take time off. Help people that are emotionally unavailable to take your call. I can’t help you, I’m doing me but look after you,” she said while speaking to the crowd.
