Oh, hey!

My name is Danielle Ndende; glad to see you here!


I write about deliberately designing a life I'm excited about while embracing the occasional detours. I explore topics such as travel, money, and career, all grounded in personal experiences. Sometimes it's thoughtful, most times it's light.

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.

Like my book, the posts on this newsletter are published in English and French. If you choose to join me—and I'd love to have you—let me know your language preferences when you subscribe. ☺️


I love fried plantain; my favorite artist is Andrea Bocelli; I love getting my nails done; photography is one of my many passions.
