A Day at Sanchi

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.

The City of Lakes

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.

Two Weeks in India

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?

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.

Unpacking: Patriarchy & Toxicity in ...

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.

The Golden Years are Over 

img_2886.jpg

   Last Week, I graduated from College and I now am the Holder of an Associates Degree in Humanities Studies. I'm so very proud of myself for coming this far. After 2 years of hard work I can say I've successfully finished this stage. 

I can look back on my accomplishments and smile. I was the President of the Journalism Association, The Director of International Affairs for the Interact Club, The Graduation Representative for my Department, and I was a good student.  My GPA at the end of my first year was 3.66 sadly, they changed the mark scheme and now i have a 3.58, .02 away from honours lol, But I still think i did a pretty good Job.

       

I made alot of new friends, and made closer bonds with my older ones. These are the Golden Days that I will always Cherish & Remember for the rest of my life. The times in Law class & the Jokes before History. 

Thank God for all he's done & all he continues to do in my life, and i know that i'll be on to greater things in the Future. 

  

Throwback Thursday

 

It's been a year since I've graduated from high school, and in memoriam of this shining achievement, I've decided to do a "Throwback Thursday" post about my prom and what I wore. I ordered my dress on 'Prom Girl' which is this website that sells a large array of prom dresses and styles. My shoes I found while on a day trip to Barbados. My Prom wasn't some magical and unforgettable night, but it wasn't bad either. I had a good bit of fun and since I was with friends it made the evening memorable.
