Welcome to my blog

My name is Judy Wanjiku Jørgensen. I am a mother and trained journalist, tinkering around with words. Raising my two sons in a Kenyan-Danish way, so that they can grow up to become citizens of the world. I derive my cathartic release through expressing myself in writing and photography. I live in Aarhus, the Danish city of smile.
