What I’ve been up to…

Can you believe that it’s been five whole months since I ended the happygrrls blog? Crazy, eh? 

Since it’s been forever since you’ve heard anything from me, I thought it was time to update you on what I have been doing.

Well……..I finally launched my new blog – WordsWithMichelle in early March.  Woo hoo!  The new blog focuses on my interviews with people in the city that both inspire and fascinate me.

I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Best Female R&B nominee (Black Canadian Awards) Shi Wisdom (her voice….damn amazing), DJ Reddy Fox (he lets me know what it’s like DJing in the digital era) and Ricardo McRae (he talks about social media, networking and his website- whoswhoinblackcanada.com).  I will also be posting interviews with badass graffiti artist EGR and a college grad turned budding hip hop artist among others.

I’m totally grateful that I am able to have great conversations and establish connections with positive people in the city. So happy I decided to start this new endeavor.

I just wanted to thank you for your support over the past 5 years.  It honestly encouraged me to try something different.  I would love for you to join me on my new venture.  Feel free to visit my new blog www.wordswithmichelle.com.

Thanks!

Michelle

It’s the end of an era

I know you’ve been wondering why  I haven't been updating The Happygrrls blog as much as I used to.  Well...... I hate to say this but it’s the end of an era y’all. 

Yes, after much contemplation, I have decided to end the Happygrrls blog.  Yes, I know....it hasn’t been an easy decision for me, as I’ve poured by heart and soul into the blog, but I feel like I need a change.  I really feel like it’s time to start something new.  I’ve published the blog for the past 5 years and I felt that I really wanted to grow and evolve as a writer.

So when one door closes another one opens. 

I decided months ago that I wanted to start a new blog – a blog that solely focuses on my 2 loves- writing and meeting new people.  One of the things that I loved so much about doing Happygrrls was going out, meeting new people and writing their story.  I have been sooooooooo lucky to have met and written about people that I have admired, looked up to and people I just wanted to chat with.  Now I will be doing it full time for my new blog – WordsWithMichelle

I REALLY, REALLY want to thank my loyal audience, family and friends as well as all the people that I have interviewed. You’ve been a part of my journey and helped me realize what my passion truly is.

I promise to post the link to my new blog once it is up and running. Psst..........my Twitter account - @happygrrls will remain active for the time being.

I want to say thanks again for everything and I hope you will be a part of my new adventure.   

Update: the @happygrrls Twitter handle is now @wordswmichelle

Love you all,

Michelle
