30 Days of Flavia started in August 2015. It started with how Flavia Tumusiime got a job at 91.3 Capital FM. The stories profile Flavia's private and career life in a random order. She tells of how she got different media jobs what has kept her at most of her jobs. She advises her fans on how to deal with social, private and career problems. The stories were published daily on her Facebook page for 30 days.

Purpose

The purpose of the stories according to Flavia was to help the young people that were going through tough times and thought they were alone. 30 Days of Flavia tells of Flavia's personal life which has mistakes, burdens and hard times, a life most of her fans never knew about. She goes on to advise her readers every after each chapter,

Word of advice, even if you are at your last grain of strength, never show desperation. Be confident that the best asset is you and with that, you can acquire anything else..

Her last piece of advice was,

My last word of advice is..the bigger the burden/challenge, the bigger the blessing so hold on. #30daysofflavia"[5]
