An Interview with a Kindred Spirit

A couple of weeks ago, I guest posted on Scoutie Girl. Near the end of the article, I wrote:

 

“At my core, I am a dreamer. And my current dream is to harness the power of story and use it to fight modern slavery, earn a living for myself, and teach people from all walks of life how to do the same (and hopefully much more). With my blog as my main platform and words as my tools of choice, I know I have ventured down an exciting rabbit hole.”

Since India

I am excited to share that I have signed on to be a regular guest blogger for Made By Survivors! I volunteered over a month ago (has it really been that long?) and journeyed to Kolkata, West Bengal in India to help out in a couple of the shelters that MBS sponsors. I was six weeks pregnant at the time, and unfortunately, morning sickness decided to make it's first appearance while I was there. As it turns out, the baby growing inside of me is not a fan of Indian food. I ended up having to come home a week early. It was an amazing trip.

Beauty Beyond Words

am writing from my little apartment in Maryland, instead of from Kolkata. I spent all last week there, but I am seven weeks pregnant and the trip was very taxing on my body. When Sarah suggested I go home early, I gratefully agreed.

And I am glad to be home, but still . . . I miss those girls. This was my first volunteer trip with Made By Survivors and I wasn’t prepared for the light that radiated from the girls at the shelters. It was overwhelmingly beautiful, an experience I wouldn’t trade for the world.
