Social media users (which, if we’re being honest is most of us) tend to be a rather curious bunch. We’ve taken it for granted that platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and now TikTok, have become a natural extension of our lives that not being on any of the platforms – whether as users or consumers – causes phantom FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). It’s … Continue reading Digital Marketing During COVID-19
Last night, I was once again scrolling mindlessly through my twitter feed in the middle of the night because I’ve developed insomnia since the pandemic began when I came across a post that stilled my mind. I remembered that I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Yo Yo Ma three years ago ahead of his performance in Abu Dhabi. He was warm, humble, and full … Continue reading Play On, Maestro
I love technology. I adore the internet and I’m an unshamed Twitter addict. But, oh, there’s just something about slowing things down and the anticipation of waiting for something to come in the mail (and I don’t mean online shopping).

The daughter of a naiad and Helios the sun god, we are introduced … Continue reading The myth, The legend, the Feminist triumph
Like the majority of people, I’ve taken steps to start self-isolating as a precaution against the Coronavirus. It was fun at first, spending most of the time binge-watching Netflix shows that I’d been meaning to catch up on for months but I started getting antsy after a few days. While “spring cleaning” my home as a way to pass the time, I stumbled upon a … Continue reading COVID 19, My Notebook, and Me
If you’re on Twitter, chances are that you’ve seen some (or a lot) of these pop up on your timelines. They’ve probably brought a smile to your face or caused you to hum your favourite song.
