Undulations: the summary of a life ongoing,
Three hundred and sixty steps to square one
and the next first step is made,
The first light of sunrise asks you why
and in response you look to the sunset:
What is a circle but a series of sudden sharp turns?
-Angelica Munyao
I am a fan of poetry as a medium of emotional expression. While I cannot claim adeptness, it is an area I am most keen to explore and develop a skill in.
One of my favorite classes during my undergraduate study was an introductory poetry class in my senior year. I retained the assigned course book with an intention to continue writing and learning.
Through the Tiger Tales Toastmasters club in RIT, I have a platform to practice my writing and performace skills. The feedback received from fellow toastmasters and guests is most assistive to this process.
I enjoy drawing and am developing my skills in utilizing software tools such as Inkscape to create images, background tiles and icons. Whenever time allows, I opt to create a customized icon for a website rather than seek out free icons online. The logo and icon for my website are examples of my work. My website hosted on Github has a different logo and icon to view.
I have had an interest in designing clothing and accessories, primarily for women, since I was a young girl. At that time I would stitch outfits for dolls, but after taking homescience in highschool, I eventually began to work on outfits for people.
I regularly alter clothing for myself, family and friends, either to improve the fit or add some aesthetic features. Occassionally, I work on accessories and outfits when I find the time. Stitching can be a most therapeutic activity for me.
