At first, we would only talk about work matters. But when she got pregnant with her second child, Kyra and we became seatmates, ourContinue reading “Capturing moments with ‘Caricapture by Donna’”

How I found diversity in writing
Perhaps, one of the most fulfilling passions I have right now in my life is writing. It is where I find comfort, peace of mind, and freedom to do whatever I want without the fear of being judged.
