(It’s difficult to write about myself!) I’m a 52yrs old, single mother of two. Born in Poland, studied in the US, now live in South Africa.
If I had to choose a theme for my current chapter, it would be “Wellness and Betterment”. I built an award winning health hub for South Africans, and am writing a book about self-Betterment.
In my past life, I was a digital strategist, and I guess I still am one. I am fascinated by the online space, both for its commercial and cultural impact. I can sit and talk for hours about startups, trends, where AI is taking us (maybe) and how we can prepare ourselves for the future (maybe). I am extremely bullish not just on the joy of communities, but on the strength of communities: building one-on-one relationships is what will get us through whatever it is that is coming. We should prepare ourselves.
Ideally, I want to retire to a hillside cottage in the Alps, and write. Will anyone still read human-written words? I think so. I hope so.
I do have a personal blog, Sneakers and Heels, on the back of which I write a weekly newsletter. It’s personal, and targetted at my female friends who are in the same life-stage as me. Reading a couple of past editions will give you a good idea of who I am. 🙂
