    2022 was a great achievement for two Seychellois p 2022 was a great achievement for two Seychellois professionals, Melissa Stravens and Jemima Doudée who were the latest recipients of the Chevening scholarship, the UK government’s international scholarships and fellowships programme.
Applicants around the globe were required to apply directly through the Chevening online platform, after which the very best applicants were shortlisted and interviewed by a specialist panel at the British high commission. They had the opportunity to demonstrate how the scholarship will make a difference in their lives and communities, and how it will benefit them as a leader in their respective chosen field.
Almost 100 Seychellois have studied in the UK through the Chevening programme since 1984, going on to become leaders in their respective fields. Read Melissa's and Jemima's stories on Cosmocreole

Greetings from Mumbai 🎄💕🎁
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it. Our daughter and sister Elaine got the ultimate gift of life 💕 Her new Lungs 💞 in the week leading to Christmas. 
She has a great team of people behind her and she is the bravest person we know. 
Elaine is recuperating very well, but still has a long way to go. 
Thank you all for the encouragement, support calls and messages during this difficult and challenging time, our family will be forever grateful. 
Let this Christmas make way for a fresh new start for everyone. Embrace the many miracles it brings along and spread the love you have in your heart. Please do not take life for granted. 
Sending our warmest wishes for A Merry Christmas and A happy New Year 2023.
Ferdinand, 💞Lucie 💞 Elaine💕

Their Challenges in Print-Inspiring Others

20 December 2022 · In: Features, Inspirational Life

Enda Gilbert, A Parental Burnout practitioner and educator, contributed to Undefeated, a collection of uplifting, powerful and inspiring stories written by a group of Professional migrant women in Australia. Enda describes the book as a lighthouse representing the extraordinary grit of migrant women who refused to be defeated.

I was honoured to be given the platform to share my challenges, triumph and resilience journey. 

 In “Where is The Freaking Village?” I share my challenges, turmoils and triumphs of raising my child without a support village while battling post-natal depression. My challenges introduced me to my strengths, and I rose above all odds and achieved my career goals while thriving as a working mama.  

I hope that all migrant women and women of colour worldwide who read this Undefeated feel seen and heard. Our stories will inspire you to live the life you want, not settle for less, speak your truth even when you feel alone, and own your destiny. 

You’re the CEO of your life; don’t hand over the power to anyone. 

You can purchase the book on Amazon here.

In a new self-help autobiographical book, ‘Becoming a Fanm Fasinasyon’ (a fascinating woman), Marsha Parcou, a life coach and entrepreneur, shares her journey as a woman and the challenges faced in life and how to overcome them. Marsha said that ‘Becoming a Fanm Fasinasyon’ was written to empower other women in Seychelles and beyond who face similar challenges.

The reality is we will always be put in a box. We will always see ourselves in a situation, but we don’t have to stay in the box. So, the feedback I received from my clients through messages describing how their lives have changed for the better has moved me and inspired me to write my personal story and make something beautiful out of it to inspire other women.

It’s been a journey, and it’s been a bit scary to put some chapters of my life out in the open, especially about my childhood, but even though it is scary, I see it as a healing process as well.

I believe that there is no greater power than to empower other women. So, my story about Fasinasyon is all part of my goal to inspire other women and other people to believe that you can step out of the boxes; you are more than your past, and your past is not your home.

The book can be purchased at local bookstores like Antigone bookshop and Chanterelle. The book is also available at Chatterbox Café and on Amazon here.
