It’s the time for the year in review which has been a year of learning and transition. From Johannesburg to Jakarta, it’s been the year of the global south travel, and having spent a third of the year in SE Asia, and reading a program in SE Asian Studies- it’s been a blessing. Having read Abdoumaliq Simone’s work, it was good to be in both his cities of intellectual interest.

It’s also a year of health reminders, with a dear parent undergoing a surgery recently, and I got operated on my eye in July that was pending for many years.

I had the opportunity this year to train, write and speak on ESG matters, and blog each day. In all sincerity, just feel blessed to survive the year. It’s time to rebuild again with a gentle smile.

Wishing all a good holiday season.
