Welcome to Matters
of the Heart BLOG
where I explore
body-positivity,
feminism,
mental health,
travel, education,
and
storytelling.
As an educator
and a writer,
I love provoking
thought and
looking
at things from
different
angles.
Let’s question, debate, relate,
invigorate, inspire
and reconsider
but always with
dialogue,
substantiated claims,
and respect.
