Yes, I do mean we — as in you.

POLITICS AND POWER
Unpacking the systems that shape our lives.
In this section, I explore global and local politics through a critical, human lens. From policy and protest to power dynamics and ideologies, I reflect on how governance and law affects real people — and how we can stay informed, aware, and engaged without losing our soul in the process.
Society & Culture
The stories, habits, and beliefs that define us.
Here, I dive into the social fabric that makes us who we are — from cultural traditions and generational shifts to gender roles, identity, and social norms. This space is about observing the invisible rules we live by and questioning them with compassion and curiosity
Food & Identity
The flavors that tell our stories.
Food is one of the most beautiful ways we connect — to our roots, to each other, and to ourselves. In this space, I share the dishes, tastes, and memories that have shaped my view of the world. From comfort food to cultural surprises, this is where stories simmer, spices speak, and every bite has a little meaning behind it.
World Watch
Global conversations through a personal lens.
In a world so connected yet so misunderstood, I aim to bridge the gap between cultures, current events, and common humanity. From conflict zones to cultural celebrations, this section is where I observe and reflect on what’s happening around the world — and what it means for us all.
