Oh, hey!

My name is Danielle Ndende; welcome to the Dreams Come True newsletter! Here, I share personal growth stories and reflections to inspire you on your journey of making your dreams come true.

Chasing dreams isn’t easy, I know that all too well. I moved to the U.S. with big dreams just before my 21st birthday, and then to Canada before turning 25, the same fire burning in my heart. Years later, my dreams had shifted; it took me some time, but I eventually let go of the old to welcome the new.

As someone who began adult life in a new environment, I understand how challenging it is to chase goals and dreams while navigating unfamiliar systems: your path is far from linear, and your dreams only seem to move further and further away. I get it.

This newsletter was born out of my desire to continue sharing stories after publishing my book, Dreams Come True, and Mine Will too: A Memoir of Renewed Hope, where I take you on a tumultuous journey of making a dream I didn’t know I had come true. Expect stories and insights on career, personal finance, and entrepreneurship, all grounded in real experiences.

Like my book and most other pieces of content I produce, the posts on this newsletter will be published in English and French.

I love fried plantain; my favorite artist is Andrea Bocelli; I am passionate about mental health, social impact, and economic development.

My mantra is dreams come true, and mine will too.
