My name is Raissa and if you’re reading this you’re probably into this island girl’s way of thinking.
I grew up with the sounds of
crashing waves as my lullaby and the white beaches as my playground. My passion
for exploring in-depth about different cultures initiated while I started
studying abroad. Trust me when I say, the grass is never greener on the other
side, or in my case the sand is never whiter on the other side. OK, back to my affair with culture! So I left Seychelles to study Mass Comm in Mauritius and
during my studies I learned a lot about society, most importantly their way of functioning. Since I’m very much obsess with pop culture and fashion I decided to
immerse my love for both into understanding society’s way of living.
My goal is to help you make sense
of the world but in a modern semi-academic playful way.
The blog name ‘The Coconut’ is a
representation of my lifestyle, to live in paradise and where I come from. In creole Seychellois we
have this term “Ou koko latet I dir” which translates to someone that doesn’t
use their mind really well to comprehend things. Hence the coconut is a little
slang for the ‘head’. And since I want to speak my mind, this term ‘coconut =
mind’ fits perfectly.
Think outside of the box!
