TheBlaxpat Txil (Portuguese) Crop Top
I should have known better than to doubt you. If anything, the call & response is helping me feel seen. I asked for 400 followers, and you all gave me the gift of abundance: 405 subscribers as of today! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I should have known to just txil (chill, in Mozambican Portuguese). Take it easy, stop worrying, be cool, and trust that my community has my back. (You can find this design and more at my Etsy store!)
So, now what? I’m basking in the full moon and wishing on a star for good things.
Be the difference…
With so many tragedies going on in the world, it seems a bit selfish to celebrate my small wins. Instead, I hope we can ride the positive momentum to transform some of the world’s deepest and most pressing tragedies into things of the past.
Here are a few opportunities 2025 has offered us to be the difference. I’m not affiliated with nor vouching for any of these organizations. But I hope this list inspires you to give time, money, or expertise to causes that can make a difference in the life of someone else… near or far.
