Djamm ak Dkamm! (In Wolof, Peace on us!)
Hello! My name is Solange (for close friends and family I go by my “little” name Fanta, yes, like the soda). I am a child of God, a mama of 2 little angels under the age of 4, wife, daughter, sister, friend, dreamer, born and raised in Senegal, West Africa, of a multicultural background, now living in America, a global citizen in our Global Village…
Miss Awa’s Blogazine is named after my dear sister Awa, who is no longer with us in this life. Awa was a brilliant, vibrant, ambitious young woman, whose very spirit motivates me to live the best life I can. Like her, this site is my dream of a magazine for the Global Woman, vibrant, full of life and spirit!
Miss Awa’s Blogazine’s motto is “To Inform and Inspire the Global, Modern Woman“, out of mine and others’ experiences, current events and inspiring happenings in the Global Village that is our world!I write all things women, global, business, parenting, arts and lifestyle, things that will make you see the world a bit wider, a bit brighter, things you can use and pass on to the next person… I speak from a multi-cultural perspective, a witty, inspiring, I hope, point of view. My flaws, more than my achievements, make me who I am and give me a voice…
In the spirit of our Senegalese tradition of “Teranga” (that’s hospitality in Wolof), please honor my blog with your presence, stop by, have a soul bite, and leave me a word or two to remember you by!
Dieuredieuf! (Thank you in Wolof)
Je suis tellement emue pour ton blog…je ne sais quoi ecrire, mais Awa restera toujours dans nos memoires et surtout nos prieres.
Je te felicite.
A bientot
ca fait plaisir, je pensais ke personne ne lisait ce blog…lol…Ce sont mes delires perso, mais toujours a la memoire de notre chere Awa, elle me motive dans tout ce que je fais.
J’espere que ca va pour toi, et toute ta famille.
Plein de bisous,
Solange,
Yaye
I am touched by the title and how you relate it to the most important value in life: Teranga. In fact hospitality in Senegal is a celebration. May Awa rest in peace.

PS: don’t forget a brother when “Vogue-Magazine” gets a hold on this…..
Je te souhaite une tres bonne continuation et de tres belles aventures/decouvertes
p.s: j’etais emue quand tu as partage “my flaws more than my accomplishments make me who I am”. How humbling and beautiful!
Blessings to your family.
I just landed on this site through a link sent by my sister Jai about the whole Khess Petch campaign/fiasco. I feel I’ve found a kindred spirit in you (born in The Gambia, global citizen/cultural nomad, mother, wife and all-round passionate person). I look forward to reading more from you.
Courage!
