Announcement | It's not about where you live, its about how you live

Soweto, South Africa

 

I've been having this thought for a while in my head
and that it is just time to take a dive and make the blog have it's 
own page name and everything like that. 

@zanelemondi has been great but I feel like @aroundsowetoblog 
will make more sense.
I have been doing this blogging thing for a while now 
and I know that if I want to take things to the next step I will need to share
a part of my life in this beautiful world called social media
and after going back and forth I decided that I will not be doing that but take
the next best step and make In Out & Around Soweto grow into something more. 

As @zanelemondi I feel like the blog is okay but as In Out & Around Soweto the she is ready
to blossom and take on her own life. 
I love everything about the township life (positive things only though)
 (Soweto, Thokoza, Gugulethu, Umlazi, etc)
but I often feel like the images portrayed in our news are often times unfair and don't 
cover even 10% of what the township life is about, don't even get me started with some of the
briefs I would sometimes get from brands #hahaha

The process will be gradual but I do believe that when you see it
you will get it. 

See at work.

NOVEMBER BLOG GOALS

Soweto, South Africa

I know it's kinda late to be sharing November goals right now 
but it's better late than never. 

So here we go again...


1. Continue being consistent with my posting on here.
I would love to continue daily blogging like in October.

2. Upload 3 video's weekly on YouTube I would like to reach 1 500 subbies 
by the end of this year (A girl can dream right?!)

4. Get to 905 000 page views this month, upload frequently on Instagram and
 try engaging more on Twitter.  

5. Start being active and enjoy life more. (LIVE in the moment)

6. Wash My Natural Hair Weekly than bi-weekly
( a youtuber I follow claims to be her trick for her hair growth).

Yeap these are the goals for November nothing hectic, just me trying to 
make this hustle continue because it's just a great outlet for my stress and anxiety.

(I know right, I've been doing this for a while but kinda enjoy creating the content 
nothing much, everyone's journey is different and 
that is the fun part of life). 

See you soon.
