"Regardless of what anyone says, if you want to study medicine, then do it for yourself; it doesn’t matter where you come from or if you are not a straight-A student. Yes, you have to have decent grades, but if you have passion, nothing can stop you at the end of the day. NEVER doubt yourself." More on Cosmocreole.

To the mothers of neurodiverse children, we salute you for fighting, paving the way for your children even though no one has paved the way for you.

To the mothers who have lost a child, you are heartbroken, but the way you move forward in grief is humbling and inspiring.

To the mothers of differently-abled children, tiredness is your life but you do not give up. We see your love.

To the mothers of adopted children, you are brave —giving them a home, being there—loving them.

To the mothers doing it alone, your determination is noted—you are stronger than you think.

We hope we raise children who understand  that their mothers are flawed but we try our best.

Happy mother's day to all the wonderful mothers and mothers to be. 🥰

Living with Bronchiectasis can be stressful and frustrating; whilst most people with the condition have a normal life expectancy, for people with very severe symptoms, however, Bronchiectasis can be fatal if the lungs stop working properly. Elaine needs a double lung transplant. Read Elaine’s story on Cosmocreole.

    Dear Mothers, To the mothers of neurodiverse chil Dear Mothers,

To the mothers of neurodiverse children, we salute you for fighting, paving the way for your children even though no one has paved the way for you.

To the mothers who have lost a child, you are heartbroken, but the way you move forward in grief is humbling and inspiring.

To the mothers of differently-abled children, tiredness is your life but you do not give up. We see your love.

To the mothers of adopted children, you are brave —giving them a home, being there—loving them.

To the mothers doing it alone, your determination is noted—you are stronger than you think.

To all mothers, we are unique—accommodating and fiercely protective women because of motherhood. However, never forget that as mothers we do not hold our children back but instead, allow them to feel safe enough to wander independently if they can and explore the wonders of life —the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Mother's are flawed but we try our best.

Happy mother's day to all the wonderful mothers and mothers to be.

    This year, for me, the celebration of women is a b This year, for me, the celebration of women is a bittersweet one. As a woman, wife and mother, I am heartbroken for the millions of families in Ukraine being affected by the war. So, this International Women’s Day, let us acknowledge the courage and determination of the extraordinary women facing the conflict.

From the women fleeing the violence to keep their families safe to those on the front lines or bringing us their stories on the ground as journalists, to the leaders managing the crisis. These women are playing an important role in this crisis, and we salute them this International Women’s Day.

We've compiled a small ebook, a reminder of the strength, wisdom  and determination  of some Seychellois women. You can download from our website. Link in the bio.

Happy Women’s Day

From Passion to Business – Zara Albert

26 July 2021 · In: Art, Arts & Culture, Features, Seychelloise in Business

Seyramics is a hand-made pottery brand started by ceramic artist Zara Albert, who creates one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces inspired by Seychelles flora and fauna. Zara was born and raised in Seychelles but lived and studied in California for 12 years. Upon returning home, age 24, Zara worked for several businesses, but now her small side hustle, ‘Seyramics’, has grown into her full-time occupation. Zara’s husband has fully supported her passion every step of the way. Together, they have a beautiful daughter, whom Zara sees as her biggest achievement in life.

Seyramics officially came to life mid-pandemic in 2020- a time when many were able to explore their creative passions. Zara had always been interested in art, but ceramics wasn’t something she’d tried out until a few years ago. It all began when she started taking pottery courses as a therapeutic means while overseas, which she says slowly grew into a passion. Zara took a break from work and decided that she wanted to pursue something creative for herself. Her business started by taking only custom orders – mugs and specific custom made items requested by her customers. Her creations are available online on made-to-order. Zara has also created her own line and is available in various retail outlets on Mahe. Seyramics pieces will soon be available at Concept Studio, Island Thyme, Duty-Free Seychelles and AQUA Boutique Hotel in Seychelles.

The business name ‘Seyramics’ came from Zara’s desire to keep her branding ‘simple, local and to the point.’
Zara considers herself an artist first and foremost, though, as her true passion is for creating ceramic art over the business side of things. Her studio is based at Machabee, Mahé, at her home.

The ideas for Zara’s useable artwork usually come when she’s surrounded with inspiration. The creative process starts with a lot of sketches. Then, it takes a lot of drawing and refinement of ideas to get to a final piece.

Seyramics pieces are only made with the best materials. Zara researches and tests all of the materials she imports to make sure she’s choosing the best ones. “With pottery, there are so many stages in the process at which something could go wrong, so it’s important to use high-quality materials, and it takes immense focus,” says Zara. It is for that reason why she feels overwhelming excitement and pride when she finishes a piece.

Zara admits that striking a perfect work balance can be still a challenge. ” I manage this by focussing on smaller orders so that I can have more family time.” However, she also has the flexibility of working around her daily life, as the nature of being a pottery maker means that she can choose her hours of work.

Zara hopes that one day, she will be able to set up classes in her studio, as she recognises that there is so much creative talent in Seychelles. “Still, the opportunities to learn pottery are incredibly limited,” observes Zara.

The future goals for Seyramics itself include releasing new pieces with new concepts by the end of the year. You can check out the Seyramics range on Instagram. Zara can also be contacted for custom designs, but she takes limited orders per month.

You win a beautiful piece crafted by Zara by entering the competition.
