Guest post by Dani from This Village Girl.com “Are you from the Philippines?” A guy asked me and my roommate of four years with a very thick Chinese-Malay accent. We just moved to Malaysia for work. “Yup.” …I just let my roommate answer for the both us. I had a feeling that this conversation was […]
Thanks to Vanessa Hare, I had the privilege to be nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award. It basically means that you, as a blogger, give acknowledgement to bloggers and to what they have to say. After you have been selected you get to pick 15 others who you feel deserve to be nominated as well! […]
I think we all know that I could not be the writer of a women empowerment blog without writing a piece for international women’s day. So here it is…But wait.. This time it’s a little different 🙂 Together with the most amazing artists I had the opportunity to create beautiful, meaningful art! We decided to […]

When we think about domestic violence we immediately think of someone being beat and scolded but it’s so much more than that. My friend had been in a relationship […]
Like I’ve mentioned before, I’m aiming to get every kind of story out there…and this story is a mix of the experience of a friend from London and a friend from the Caribbean. It really made me see that no matter the upbringing, no matter the type of surroundings, this struggle can be an issue in every household, no matter the background, […]
No…it’s not! Just like one of my readers, I made the decision to go back to school. I got accepted to the Masters program of my choice and I’m as proud as can be! But then comes the opinions, not only from others but thoughts that spook through your head as well.. But you’re already […]
