What the heck is Truths She Wrote?!

I’ve seen a lot of fitness posts, healthy eating blogs and a large following for the glorious goddesses who take sexy selfies in their yoga pants, hashtag girlswhosquat. I’ll save you the trouble, I am none of the above. In fact, it’s 2 in the afternoon and I still haven’t showered.

Besides from being a part time hobo, I am young, brown and female.

In an attempt to dispel stereotypes and ill-informed generalizations, I want to use this as a platform to share things that I enjoy and are important to me. These will come alive in the form of written blog posts, pictures and videos.

P.S  Speaking of truths, there is a part of my brain telling me, ‘Who the f*ck would want to read what you have to say?’ A totally valid question. Probably just my Mum. But if my stories inspire even just one person, I’ll be very happy (just one, because if I set the bar low, then I’ll always get over it).

I look forward to sharing with you all. I am going to have a shower now.
