A NEW SKILL YOU’VE

RECENTLY LEARNED

How to take care of my

plants... Don’t laugh! I

was determined to make

sure I take care of them,

they’re my babies and I

love being around greenery

• living in a city is hard, so I’ve
  created my safe space! Yes... I
  do give them special names and
  talk to them!
  
  
  • Mufasa, The Lion King. My
    nickname is Simba, because of
    my hair!

WHO TO FOLLOW

MUST-READ BOOK

New York for the drive and

ambition – I love the energy

there. Home is where the

heart is, and

for me that’s

being near

greenery or

water, so I will

go to any place

that gets me

near those two!

FAVOURITE PLACE TO VISIT

I truly believe in following pages

that educate, make you laugh,

inspire, and empower you. So here

are my top five: @gracefvictory,

@willsmith, @alex_elle,

@tanyacompas, @mothecomedian

GOING UP

GOING DOWN

I’m just turning 30, and really

stepping into my

power, and just

pushing forward

with my passions.

My home, work, and social life

balance is really up in the air,

and I don’t feel grounded. I need

some organisation, ASAP!

My therapist recommended I should read

more fiction, as my shelf is full of self-help

books. But wow, this book is hard-hitting and

so beautifully written!

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

Finding my voice and speaking

out on my childhood sexual

trauma, which has led me to be

able to raise awareness, and given

me a greater purpose.

PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT

FAVOURITE SONG

FAVOURITE

FOOD

I never know

what I want to

eat... But homely

food is always the

way to my heart! Good ol’ Irish

stew, or a Caribbean dish, is

everything!

I’m a lover of music, so this is hard!

But my go-to song at the moment is

DaniLeigh’s ‘Easy’. The song reflects

my motto right now: ‘Let’s take it easy.’
