A key coping strategy I use when I move countries is to try and make meaningful connections with people in my new community – not a new concept or groundbreaking by any means but I am with you if you are thinking that it is easier said than done! 

This year, International Women’s Day showed me the power of community.

In the last six months, I have actively changed the way I write my emails.

Here's my attempt at condensing my passions and my life story into a 13min segment.

I am a victim. I am a fighter. I am a woman. I am a woman of colour. I am human.

For me, International Women’s Day is a universal reminder to recognise and celebrate women’s achievements and plights.
