Stereotypes. Top Story - September 2020.
What comes to your mind when you think of the word "Latino"? The idea most people have of 'Latin(o) culture' has been undeniably impacted and shaped by Latinx living overseas, grouping people from over 20 countries into just one, united by language, history, and oftentimes a common destiny.

Why I traveled to Latin America what I learnt
I was born in South London to Peruvian and British parents. Growing up, “Latinidad” didn't really have a meaning to me. It was simply just the way things were. Spanish was spoken at home, Peruvian food was served, we’d buy our food at the market and on Saturday mornings I’d have to get up to clean! Our friends were Peruvian too, so nothing felt unusual to me. Moreover, being raised in a multicultural environment like London taught me that everybody did things differently at home.

Go with your own Flow
I always admire people who make mood boards, so I decided to make one myself. It got slightly awkward when I couldn't quite group and put my finger on all of my goals. I decided to add a car to my mood board. I started searching the few car brands that knew and quickly came to a strange conclusion. I had no emotional attachment to the car. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind having one. But it was not something I had been dreaming of. I guess it was just something I thought that would make sense if I wanted it.

Peruvian-Style Tamales - Vegan and Gluten-Free
If you are interested in trending foods, Latin-American cuisine or just like to try something new, chances are you have heard of “Tamales”. Pretty much every country in Latin America has their own version of Tamales, Hallacas or Humitas, a corn based steamed dough with a filling. The singular form is Tamal and not as often erroneously referred to as Tamale.

The Polite Way of Disliking Someone
Even the most decisive person crumbles when it comes to making a decision about other people. More specifically: the people you choose to surround yourself with.

The Realisations of a Vegan that Stepped Out
Growing up in a with a Peruvian Mother, going vegan was not exactly the natural direction to be heading towards. I grew up eating and enjoying all sorts of foods. Just like any child that finds out that “meat” is actually an animaI, I went vegetarian for a few hours. It wasn’t until about 7 years ago when my sister spoke to me about something she had learnt. We spoke about the usual topics surrounding vegetarianism and decided that we wanted to reduce our meat consumption.

We did a FaceTime Photoshoot. Top Story - August 2020.
“Have you ever done a Photoshoot?” - “Do passport pictures count?” My very talented friend and photographer, who like me is currently in self-isolation, asked me if I was interested in having a FaceTime Photoshoot.

TikTok is an App where you can share short videos. More specifically videos of approx. 15 seconds in mobile format. The App is well known for it's features and functions: for example to place music over a video while recording and for it’s viral trends, that user can easily reenact with one click.

Welcome Aboard
Close your eyes and imagine that you could travel anywhere you wanted to. Imagine the place. What do you see? What does it sound like? Are you alone or is anybody with you? What is the weather like?

The Importance of Forgiveness
Every form of human interaction requires at least another human being, which makes it so difficult because no two of us were encoded the same. The way we were raised, the experiences we have had and the way we usually react to conflicts influence the way we perceive communication with other people. It is a perfect recipe for chaos. And yet, one of the most inevitable parts of life.
