Meet Safiya
Safiya Robinson is an author and blogger with a passion for storytelling and listening to the stories of others. She believes that all stories are important and should be told, and there is no wrong way to tell your story! Safiya is the owner of the 39 and counting blog, a project she started not long before she turned 40 to reflect on life lessons from her first 39 years on the planet. As a keen world traveler, she uses this space to explore her experiences and philosophy on life, sprinkled with fun, humor, and big love from a small island. Her mission is to inspire you to embrace every part of your story and try something new!
Her book “Everything is a thing - my journey to living a truly authentic life” is available through her website, or you can get the paperback version on Amazon, and you can follow her journey at www.39andcounting.com
In her spare time, you’ll find her brushing up on her photography skills, enjoying island sunsets, baking delicious treats, or spending time with her friends and family.
