It was quite necessary for me to start off by writing my name because this blog, well, this iteration of this blog NOTESBYKW, is less of a writing career move and more of a discovery of self move. I have been having an identity crisis as a writer, as a woman, as a human. I’m hoping that through this blog, I will be on the right path to self-discovery on my own terms and I can carve out a simple place on the interweb to explore things that I love. And hopefully, I can share it with people who feel the same way as well.

I am a Trinidadian-American writer and designer (of fashion) who has spent most of my life in NYC but is a country girl at heart. I’m obsessed with the 1930s and 40s, fountain pens, handwritten letters, countryside homes, an assortment of tea and tea accessories, books, fashion, and of course, writing about them! I’m a lover of black and white art (ink and pastels) and colorful Caribbean folklore in the same breath. My blog, my notes if you will, is about all of it. Thanks for coming to read my notesbykw. See you on the other side!
