Voices Across Borders: Why I Keep Telling Stories Even When I’m Alone

There was a time I packed my suitcase, not just with clothes  but with questions.

I was chasing festivals, funding, and sometimes… myself.
From Cannes to Dodoma, Cape Town to Texas  I traveled solo.
But I was never really alone. Because I carry stories with me. Sometimes they’re my own. Sometimes, they belong to women I meet in passing  in cafes, in train stations, on broken film sets. This blog Pennywise and Passport Foolish: Navigating the Globe on a Shoestring Voices Across Borders  is a space for those stories.

🌍 What This Blog Will Be About:

• Behind the scenes of filmmaking in unexpected places

• Solo travel as an African woman the beauty and the breakdowns

• Conversations with women across the world (like Rebecca, the children’s author I met at Cannes)

• Letters from my soul on what it means to create across cultures

• Personal lessons on rejection, rewriting, and rising again

✈️ Why It Matters:

I used to blog about solo travel. I stopped. But I never stopped walking.
Now, I want to bring that same honesty into my work as a filmmaker and author
Because truthfully…
Every border I’ve crossed  physical or emotional  has made me the storyteller I am.

Next on Pennywise and Passport Foolish: Navigating the Globe on a Shoestring
“Voices Across Borders” is a space for the stories we carry  even when the luggage is light.

In the next post, I’ll take you behind the scenes of Love in Transit  The Last Stop Was You, the soulful series first published in Her Voyage Magazine.
Before it became an audio mini-series, it was a love letter written in the quiet corners of train stations and whispered through hotel walls. A story of heartbreak, healing, and the one unforgettable moment in Pretoria that brought it all to life.https://issuu.com/peopleofafrica/docs/hervoyagemag_aug-sep_issue_
