Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
I am an incurable romantic … I guess that would be the first line of my autobiography.
From very young I had a deep desire to explore and celebrate different perspectives, cultures and backgrounds.
Born with a fierce interest in the many people that make our World, I always strive to include diverse voices and experiences in what I write. My life took me to many different countries and as a result I have witnessed the exceptional and the less fortunate journeys of human beings.
The rose coloured glasses of my romantic soul have been a useful filter when tragedy struck my life.
I walked on Earth pretty much on my own. Broken country, broken family ties, lost loved ones are all events that made me become fiercely inclusive and loving to people that cross my path irrespective of how long those people are in my life … whether for a moment or a lifetime.
Inclusivity and diversity are not just some new fashionable traits of my personality, they are part of my mentorship vocabulary in business and also part of the way in which I behave within the community and the environment in which I live.
Stereotypes and exclusionary practices need to be avoided when you create Lifestyle marketing content as this will not be in alignment with the fifth commandment of the Ten Commandments when reaching out to your audience.
Thou Shalt Encourage Diversity and Inclusivity.
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
The most valuable lesson that I learned in my travels is that you may want many things and travel the World in a search of fame and fortune but often your treasure is just where you are.
Your heart tells you if it is the right place and it normally doesn’t stop telling you until you find it.
The second most valuable lesson is that Somewhere Over the Rainbow I made friends everywhere.
Your home is your treasure. Talk soon …
