Hi there! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Daniella and I’m a community peacebuilding expert currently serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Botswana.

For the last 5 and a half years, I have blogged about my personal and professional life at Under African Skies. But 2014 was year of deep internal change, and I decided to go on a hiatus from the blogging world last June. Retreating from the outside world proved to be successful: after a slew of personal branding exercises and intense self-introspection, I return to you with a fresh narrative of my peacebuilding work and my personal efforts on my path toward inner peace.

In the next few months, I will be settling into my new home on WordPress. I’ll migrate my old posts onto this new platform and create cool features so you can keep up with my projects. I love feedback, so feel free to let me know what’s working and what’s not!
