About DonnaTruly

headshot by mel - Version 2

Hi, I’m Donna. I'm a Jamaican woman living in Rwanda. I believe we should all get free or die trying. I find freedom in words. On this blog, I celebrate being a multidimensional woman. I have many interests: travel, education, PanAfricanism, the black diaspora, Jamaica, law, natural hair, postcolonial literature, running, politics, women’s issues, and more. I write about them all. You can also get in touch with me on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I love a good conversation :-)
Do you have a question about travel, working and living abroad, going to law school, or something related? Send me your question via the Contact form, and I might answer it one Wednesday in the #AskDonna series.

Be Social. Stay in Touch
