A Black British Girl's Perspective of a Global Village
It's been a busy few month - hence no recent travel updates! Believe it or not, I've managed to stay put in London without having itchy feet to get on a plane...

When I arrived in Brazil all those weeks ago, I could never have imagined it'd be a source of inspiration for me to officially launch my personal branding venture The Soho Girl Branding. You see, I came came as a lost soul in need of being 'fixed' by receiving life coaching sessions from my exec-business... Continue Reading →
