Hello!

Welcome to my Blog. This is the home of my creativity, a space for my adventures and thoughts. This is the place where i share what's going on in my life with words and photos that i happen to enjoy taking. I've been writing all my life, whether for school or for myself and i believe that this form of expression is important. 

Blogging has helped me to develop a unique writing style and a unique way of looking at the world. Writing this blog is my way of coping with growing up and reflecting on the world around me through my own point of view. The thinking i've developed through writing this blog has even landed me the opportunity to become a feature contributor for Potent Magazine and the YouShare Project

Enough about why I blog, here's a little bit about me. I am a twenty one year old who is pursuing a Law Degree at the University of West London in the city of Ealing. I've just finished my first year and I have a few months left till I ship off to Law School to qualify as a Barrister. 

I am a Caribbean child having been born in the wonderful island of Antigua and Barbuda. I have 2 sets of parents who both love me and nurture me and ensure that I have the support and motivation to be the best person possible. 

I love photography and I have been taking photographs for almost 7 years. I love songs by artists who aren't necessarily mainstream.

I hope you enjoy a peek into my mind. It took a lot of time and effort to put this all together.

Shadows | Taken by the genius Shawn O’Garro @soshootphotography As always Thank You. | I’m hardly ever photographed by someone that I’m not directing. It’s either a self portrait Or I’ve set everything and given a friend and I tell them what to do. It’s hard relinquishing control of yourself and being directed for someone else’s vision. However, I felt so comfortable.
