Layla

I am Layla, a thirty-something Filipina grad student who is also a public servant.

The name of this blog means, "to the stars by hard ways". It is my personal motto.

I’m presently working closely with The Friday Book Club, a young organisation working on helping children with no convenient access to books, reading, and learning–to gain that access. We organise book drives, mini-art workshops, and storytelling sessions.

PS. Yes, the header was handmade by yours truly on Procreate.

My name is Layla, sharing with you my graduate school journey, and all other random things.

Want to work with me or The Friday Book Club? Please feel free to shoot an email to either one of these email addresses:
