Thank you to Circle Foundation for the Arts for honouring me with  "Artistic Excellence Award 2024"  this year ✨️ 🙏  I am truly humbled beyond words to have received this award earlier this February ! It made me recognise and feel  truly blessed! Thank you family, friends and every single person who has supported me in my journey for always believing in me. Your love and support has brought me this far. To anyone who is battling a war with their authentic self, to anyone who stopped believing in the miracles of life or anyone who feels like its too late to follow your dream - it truly is never too late to be who you are meant to be, reach for the stars and beyond, never lose your spark and never stop believing in possibilities, nothing can stop you except yourself !

 As we journey through this life there is a part of us that is not visible to the eye and trascends beyond - our  soul.

As the first night of the year draws near I'm reminded of all the possibilities that await as I turn the first page of a new chapter today.  While reflecting on the last one year and looking towards the next, I'm also reminded of my countless blessings and the many things I should be thankful and grateful for. As I cherish deeper what I have a part of my soul bleeds for the many who are facing sufferin...
