In one of my previous blog posts (Reset), I shared that one of my coping mechanisms for the quarantine has been learning.

Book Title Reveal !
Why Fearless? I am extremely passionate about the self-empowerment-especially for women-that comes with overcoming fears. I really-really- wanted to write about this!

I know I talk a lotContinue reading “Is today a museum day?”
