#144: SLSC - Day 39

Day 39: Creole Woman

Here's a video I came across and needed to share. I am a woman of Limba (Mother) and Creole (Father) ancestry who had a Creole upbringing; I can definitely relate to the perspectives shared by the women in this video. I think having a mini-documentary like this is a great initiative to see the viewpoint of other women, and also bring awareness on what it means to be Creole and Woman.

#122: Fashion faves - Hats

Lately I don't know, but I've had a fascination with hats. So in order to make my hat fantasies come true, I am going to keep my education going, so I can get a good job after graduating university and use some of my money for hats. So my want for hat will be another motivation for me to remain in school and continue my journey in becoming an engineer. I think my love for hats also comes from my (paternal) grandmother because she absolutely loves hat and has so many in her collection; she has hats with all shapes, sizes, and colors. However when I was younger, I was not very interested in it because I thought of hats as an adult and boring thing, but my thoughts on that have changed nowadays. Here are some pictures below that I took with my friend, when we visited a fashion boutique. The boutique had so many beautiful hats, but they were all VERY expensive, especially for a student's budget. I absolutely fell in love with that hat, and had a difficult time letting go.
