28 and counting.

Writing is an outlet for me to express myself and even though I do not know where this is going to lead me to, I still do it. 
When I was 8, I wanted to have my own magazine where I could share with friends and family, what was going on in our neighbourhood. 
Now, I have a blog. I do not really use it yet to share what is going on in our neighbourhood but I guess it is something I could possibly integrate.  I have a goal... To have approximately 365 pre-scheduled blog posts. I have 28 right now. got more to go ;)

Which support?

My main purpose is to make the invisible visible: the talents, stories, passion and majesty of all the people that I meet.  I do this under the umbrella of Lightseekers for community arts projects and start-ups, Transition Leicester for environmental projects, Leicester Fixers for projects supporting repair. Depending on the focus of your project, I'll support you through planning and project delivery (Inc. Research, event management, curation, marketing and communication and more) - mentorship, training and consultancy as well as bid writing and fundraising + advertising opportunities. I have several packages for support with a first hour discussing your vision and what you are looking to achieve for free. Contact me via social media  and send me your email address with an idea of the projects you are looking to develop. I will then send you a list of all the offerings accordingly.

Ph.D Research - Can you make yourself irreplaceable?

A while ago, I had dinner with this lovely young eastern European woman. It was our first encounter. She has been living in the UK for only two weeks. she had already a job and an accommodation. We started talking about our academic achievement. She mentioned that she had a master in digital literature. I suggested that she could possibly do her Ph.D at the University of Reading. She shrugged and said  'I have been working as a research administrator in a university for two years. I was the one who convinced students not to do their Ph.D.  Ph.D students slave themselves away for three years of their life. They carry out valuable research, write papers and go to conference, yet they are underpaid and they will probably not get a job at the end of it. Academia is an industry where Ph.D are a herd being truthfully exploited.' It was partially true. I started my Ph.D to escape the dogma of some other mainstream form of exploitation I wanted to be my own project. Academ...

In the search of who we are - Have a wonderful year 2015

Steven Spielberg and Cyril Cusack are having a conversation at a New Year's eve party. An anonymous is sitting next to them.  Spielberg starts: ' All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives ' .  'Indeed' replied Cyril Cusack 'i f you ask me for my New Year Resolution, it will be to find out who I am.'   That being said the anonymous declares:  'I wish you to not try to find who you are. The search is like following a shadow in the grey, you will never catch it. So just be - the light erasing any shadow of doubts in your mind. Be the sun painting new landscapes of beauty and adventures, be the moon sculpting your dreams and highest aspirations.'   Happy New Year
