Lance Armstrong, was it worth it?
Lance Armstrong was supposed to be the sporting hero of our generation, one we talked about for many, many, years to come. His was a swan story we should have relished telling. Just like that of Steve Jobs, sporting legend Billie Jean King and that epic match, or the formidable return of Monica Seles…all those…

A brave girl called Malala.
At age fourteen, I, like many of my peers, was busy figuring out the world of adolescence, making sense of body changes and navigating the tumultuous teenage years where things like boys and make up took centre stage.

A prayer for Aurora.
Though we may never know the depths your loss, We feel your pain. We may not have enough words of comfort, We send you a hug. We may not fill the void, We send you our love. The world prays for you. You are in our thoughts. And may God grant you the fortitude to…

The 21st Century Woman…
“…they said we could have it all, they just didn’t tell us how.’ I got this quote from an episode of Cold Case, a TV programme where detectives try to solve old cases. In this episode they try to unravel the questionable circumstances surrounding the death of a woman almost five years after. She was…
