About Me

Hi! My name is Hazel, and I have over 10 journals in my possession.

Why? Because I have a lot to unwind and a lot to think about. This year, I figured—why not see if there are more puzzle-brained people like me out there? Maybe, just maybe, we can decipher some of life’s many mysteries together.

I used to love writing. But somewhere along the way, pen and paper started feeling like a chore. I’m hoping that this blog helps me rekindle that love. And if you’re reading this, I hope you’ll come along on this journey with me.

Anyway! A little bit about me—I’m currently a university student studying health. I love music, reading, and all things DIY. A jack of all trades but a master of one—breathing!

I named this blog Melanated Reflections because, as a brown African woman living in my beautiful country, I wholeheartedly believe there are stories worth sharing and lessons we can learn together.

So, are you in? No hesitation. Yey!
