About Me

 I'm Tresha Lionel, a writer,  journalist and law student with an insatiable curiosity for global politics and a deep passion for storytelling. As a world citizen interested in international affairs, I have embarked on a journey to explore and communicate the diverse narratives that shape our interconnected world.

My fascination with global politics stems from a fundamental belief that the decisions made in distant corridors of power profoundly impact the lives of individuals around the globe. I am dedicated to unravelling the intricacies of international relations, diplomacy, and geopolitics while seeking to shed light on the stories of those often marginalized and unheard.

 With each article, interview, and story I tell, I am dedicated to informing my readers and viewers, fostering empathy, and promoting dialogue. Join me on this journey, as together, we navigate the intricate web of global politics and give voice to the untold stories that make our world a vibrant, ever-evolving tapestry of cultures, conflicts, and collaboration.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and I look forward to sharing the world's stories with you.
