Welcome beneath the storytelling tree.
This is not just a library. It’s a circle of tales — each one whispered with care, wrapped in metaphor, and sent into the world like a seed on the wind.
Here, I share short stories that spark joy, stir thought, and sometimes nudge your perspective sideways. They don’t take long to read, but they tend to linger — like drumbeats in the chest or echoes in the dusk.
Wander through the stories below. Some will make you smile. Others might make you pause. All are offered with the hope that they add a little more sunlight to your day.
Take your time, reflect, and pass it on if it speaks to you. Stories are alive as long as they’re shared.
Breaking the Mold and Redefining Boundaries: The Rise of a New Power Paradigm in International Development
This blog delves into the urgent need for decolonising international development and humanitarian aid. It explores the transformative shift from traditional, Western-centric aid models towards a more equitable, inclusive approach led by voices from the Global South. Highlighting the evolution of INGOs and the inspirational stories of Adjua, Ikeno, and Khady, the blog advocates for a revolutionary movement in the sector, urging organisations to actively participate in redefining power dynamics and supporting the emerging, self-sustaining power in the South.
