Category: Project Finding Beauty

Project Finding Beauty is where I share six-word memoirs and photography. It is my attempt to find beauty from the ordinary and every day living rather than being consumed by the gloom and despair.

Weaving stories to inspire & connect 🇿🇦🇫🇮🌍

I might be late, thanks to Google for the reminder I might be late, thanks to Google for the reminder, but...🤦🏾😊

It's been 3 YEARS since this poetry collection first stepped into the world. Three years of watching these poems find their way to you, settle into moments I never could have imagined when I first gathered them together. 📚✍🏾

Writing is humbling. Every single time. The blank page, the hope that what I'm trying to say will land, the vulnerability of sharing pieces of yourself with the world. 

But you've made space for these stories. You've let them into your days, your thoughts, your hearts. And for that, I'm endlessly grateful.

Here's to the readers who make it all worth it. Thank you for being here. 🙏🏾 💛
