Being a writer is all about expressing yourself creatively through words,
whether it's to inform or to entertain or both.

I still have trouble labeling myself as "a writer" sometimes. There are a lot of stereotypes strongly associated with the word. Rather than letting the fear of being labeled stop me, I've learned to embrace it. Being a writer is great, and it's encouraged me to communicate more openly with others. (less)

Uplift and Empower Scholarship Update | We Did It!

In July, I announced a fundraising idea that was a total wildcard: a prize draw inspired by my years as a massive Harry Styles fan.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I launched the fundraiser, but I knew I had three prizes any fan would love, photos and videos from 17 concerts I could post on social media, and enough passion for my scholarship fund to send countless outreach messages aski

Quotes by Danielle Hawa Tarigha  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Working closely with recipients and understanding the needs of others requires a level of trust, credibility, and closeness that community leaders are best positioned to develop.

Community leaders can serve as mentors, communicators, and friends who represent the values and priorities most important to the populations they support.

At this level of giving, customizing aid to the specific needs of individuals becomes a natural byproduct of the types of relationships formed.”
― Danielle Hawa Tarigha, Uplift and Empower: A Guide To Understanding Extreme Poverty and Poverty Alleviation

“Extreme poverty isn’t just an African issue or an Asian issue or a South American issue. It is a global issue. Before flying overseas to help relieve poverty abroad, consider the poverty in your own backyard.

Every country on every continent has people impacted by poverty—whether it is relative or absolute. Bringing extreme poverty down to zero will take more trial and error, more methods, more innovation, and more communication. Most importantly, it will take more trust—the trust that people are aware of their problems and are creative enough to solve them when given the right resources. People need opportunities, connections, and education to learn more about life’s possibilities, not handouts, performative sympathy, and empty promises.”

“The country you live in impacts nearly every aspect of your life. From the factors I have observed, this impact can be broadly categorized into opportunities and trust. In Richland, individuals’ lives are replete with opportunity and there is little reason not to trust the institutions in their lives, yet not everything is as perfect as it seems on a mental, emotional, and cultural level. In Poorland, the daily fight for survival takes precedence over most other elements of life and trust levels are low. Even the ground a person lives on can be taken away at a moment’s notice with little opportunity or basis for defense.”
