Welcome to My Safe Space!

My name is Dr. Elsa.

I am the Warrior KQueen and author of this blog.

I am a writer, scholar, social scientist, artist and public servant…

I hope you will find my page a safe place for you.

My goal is to contribute some positive social impact and help people on a similar or related journey.

In this space, I plan to share some of my personal reflections, provide insights from my struggles, with emphasis on the challenges exuding from the many intersections of our identities, purpose and existence, ambitions and pursuits.

In the process, I hope to offer my services of comfort and consolation in whatever way I can to those feeling marginalized and alienated in the web of complexities in terms of one’s relationship to the world.

In sum, my blog aims to contribute bringing a sense of awareness and demonstrating how mental health and well-being is concomitant to the challenges coming from the intersections of our social identities.

Social inclusion, building bridges and breaking barriers is core to my being and purpose.

I have gradually learned that my calling is to speak for disadvantaged and marginalized voices on every corner of our diverse communities.

Because this blog is intended to nurture empowerment, I serve you, as a Warrior Queen.

In a sense, it is also a “call for help,” because as I aim to contribute to this important conversation, I also need you.

We are interdependent and interconnected, social beings, and we need each other.

And I hope the pertinence and urgency of this subject matter can emphasize the importance of becoming well-versed and well-informed in this complex narrative as a collective, working side by side to develop an understanding of how to exhibit the altruism necessary in this war.

And we can learn together to understand these mysteries beneath the surface, deeply compressed within our soul and minds, the invisible realities.

Additionally, we all need a space where we can thrive in authenticity.

And I needed to create a space, or a community, where I can have the freedom to indulge in my vulnerabilities and challenges, as I support my growth and improvement.

I hope in the process, it may help others, and we can grow and evolve together as warriors, exemplifying courage in the face of our unique challenges and fears.

If I have intrigued you, please become further acquainted with me and my purpose from this post.

If you wish to join me in this path, I invite you to stay connected and subscribe to my blog.  You can expect a post from me on a weekly basis.

Lastly, you are welcome to reach out to me with any inquiries, comments, or messages here.

I will try my best to respond as soon as I can.

Thank you for visiting my page!

Keep dreaming big and keep fighting…

Stay Resilient. Stay Empowered. Stay Connected. 

Know we are in this together.

Solidarity, Peace, Warmth, Blessings…Always,

Your Sister and Warrior KQueen,

Dr. Elsa Talat Khwaja, PhD
