A Wee Bit About Me

Bon jour! Hola, hola 🙂 Hujambo. Terve. Why hello. My name is Meggie…

And I am the humble founder of Notre Maailma. That’s my Abuelito’s hand holding mine to the left there 🙂 We have the same “hammer” thumb, albeit his is giant and strong and mine is funny and petite.

Born in sunshiney Los Angeles, California. Proud daughter of immigrants from Colombia and Guyana. Wifey of a beautiful Frenchman from the Alps. Big sister. Grateful granddaughter and goddaughter. Caring cousin. Compassionate friend.

Passionate advocate. Old soul. Survivor of depression. Living with bipolar disorder. Citizen of the world. Student of this one precious life.

In love with Finland and her people. In love with who I am and with who I am becoming.

Listening to our podcast, Notre Maailma, is a wonderful way to learn more about the lived experience with bipolar disorder. To hear my voice and my poetry that attempts to capture pieces of my battles and my joys.
