so....who is this new blogger on board? Well, I am a sweet & sour, calm & fiesty, shy & outspoken, persistent, loveable, can-get-on-your-nerves kindda person :). I am a 26-going-on-40 yr old individual involved in soo many different things. Why 26-on-40? Well, i’ve always been told i don’t look or act my age. I am apparently involved in activities attributed to people older than i am…but what can i say? I enjoy being a mystery. :)
I am an RN, soon-to-be nurse practitioner, maneuvering life and career transitions. I am from the beautiful country of Cameroon, often referred to as "Africa in Miniature". 10yrs ago, I moved to Louisiana where im currently enjoying the cajun spice of life, while adding my african flavor to it! :) I love God, i love people, and i love life. I love my family who have been very supportive of me soo far…even through my failures. My parents, 3 siblings and a beautiful neice are the people who have helped mold and make me. Like every family, we have our good, bad and ugly times, but i won’t trade them for the world!
In addition to work and school, i manage a nonprofit organization called Chabash International Health Foundation, Inc. Our focus is on helping to reconstruct the lives of vulnerable children and communities in rural Africa through education, access to quality healthcare, and economic empowerment. You can find us on facebook, twitter or at www.chabashihf.org.
I also volunteer at the “School of Greatness”! A dynamic mentoring organization in Shreveport, LA that aims to awaken the identity of teenagers and adults, helping them find their purpose in life. You can visit us at www.schoolofgreatness.org.
Now, as if that’s not enough, i’m looking at volunteering at another up-and-coming outreach org in Shreveport, and going back to school for another degree or certificate in Global/International health. Community health is my passion and i love making a difference! Will keep you posted as my life evolves. Thanks for joining me here.
