The Perils of Being Ethnically Ambiguous
It is no small thing to appear to belong to one ethnicity or another, it can often be confusing, complicated and even traumatic because for those of mixed heritage, you never seem to fit into the mold of what you’re ethnicity is. In my case, “You’re too brown for some people and not brown enoughContinue reading “The Perils of Being Ethnically Ambiguous”
10 Reasons Why Frozen 2 Saved My Sanity During Covid
Frozen 2 came out last year November 2019, months before the now ever-present Covid-19 pandemic.

I was so afraid that my life was going to change, for the worse not the better, andContinue reading “Yours and Mine Story”
