A Glimpse of Perspective. Perspective. Perspective.

A sharing of perspective

3rd Anniversary – Launch of our Blog

 5th May 2021 – 5th May 2024 

Three years ago, my friend Olive and I launched our Blog “A glimpse of Perspective”.

It was 21:55 on the 5-5-2021! 

I am grateful to have a platform where I can share my stories and that of others. 

Our Blog is still young and a few articles and poems shared since its launch, with lots of others articles seating in drafts on my laptop or just trapped in my mind or shall I say someone else’s! 

The plan was and is still to share other people’s writing too but we have not been actively encouraging people to as we are both taking care of our families and in full-time jobs.  

Though we haven’t shared as much we have hoped, we acknowledge all the work we have put in to get us here.

We are thankful to all our readers; your encouragement, feedback and much more.

In the photos: Olive, Kagabo and their daughters Saro and Simbi with Didier, myself and our daughters Lainey and Carmella around Christmas time.

In these photos I see friendships, love and resilience.

Between us, we do have lots of shared stories in our journeys both of survival and of thriving, pain and joy. And it is on this note that I end this short piece of writing that somehow represent who we are in a glimpse of perspective.

Marie-Claire for both Olive and I.

Who we Are

Welcome to our blog aglimpseofperspective.com. We are two friends, mothers ,who originate from Rwanda and currently living in United Kingdom (UK). We all immigrated to the UK when we were grown ups. Growing up from our culture, and later on living in a new culture has been challenging, as well as beneficial as you always analyse life challenges and opportunities from two angles. From our long conversations about the culture shock and motherhood challenges, emerged the idea of sharing our thoughts to the world , hence the name of our blog. Since the idea of the blog involves sharing, we would also be sharing other people’s perspective not just ours.   We welcome your perspectives as well. Have fun reading our blog.
