My first detailed post from my trip to India is reserved for my favourite outing… a visit to Sanchi, a World Heritage Site. The only other Heritage sites I had been to are ones in London and our very own Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua.
Bhopal is a beautiful city with amazing scenery and is said to be one of India’s greenest cities. Bhopal is also home to 10 lakes and is aptly tagged as “The City of Lakes”. In this post, I’ll recap with words and images my picture perfect day trip to Bhopal’s Upper Lake.
Back in 2022, I secured an amazing Scholarship opportunity from the Indian Government to spend two weeks in the country learning about Women Empowerment, Policy and Vocational Training. I had the most amazing time and met amazing women who I still keep in touch with to this day. This post is an introduction, obviously, but over a series of post I will be unpacking how I spent my life changing two weeks in India
How Long Has It Been? Too Long! The last time I published anything on this blog was three years ago and in that time so much about me has changed. I feel as though I’ve let this Cotton Tree grow unwatered. I suppose I should take this as an opportunity to reacquaint myself with this space and reintroduce myself. It truly has been awhile.
A lot of toxic behaviours in relationships are deeply rooted in patriarchal thinking. The sense of entitlement men develop in these relationships as well as the desire to take more than necessary from men acting on the “instinct” to provide. Patriarchy has tipped the advantaged far into the male corner certainly but women also use the patriarchy and have developed “trash” tendencies because of it. Men and women are both toxic and “trash” and this has led to a very unhealthy relationship dynamic.
So ages ago my friends and I visited Sky Garden. It was amazing and I took loads of photos and I realized a few weeks back that I never actually shared that with my blog and I probably should have. I've done loads of interesting things in this city and haven't actually said a thing. So this post is the start of a back track to some interesting perspectives of this city which has become my second home. Here's to London.
Hurricanes Irma and Maria have dealt devastating blows to the Caribbean Region. The damage has altered our infrastructure and landscape and the scars will be visible for years to come. However, dispite the impact that these incredibly powerful Atlantic Hurricanes have had, our resiliance as a region outshines any tragic circumstance. Rebuilding and Restoration will take time, but together as a people we can do so much to help.
I went to St Croix several weeks ago (yes i know jet-setting). While there, I went on an epic photo taking road trip with one of my good friends. He showed me a side of the island i never would have know existed and now i'm gonna share it with you. Despite not having much to do in terms of activities, St Croix is a pretty beautiful island.
