About

Welcome to my About page! Thank you for coming. My name is Nadia El-Gabalawy and I am the founder of Translate Reality. The platform is a constant work in progress. Translate Reality is a blog, a community, and a group of individuals who have a slightly dark or unusual sense of humour. Translate Reality has evolved so much since its inception and I always welcome your feedback. 

I am happy to tell you a bit about myself so you know whose head all of this nonsense fell out of. For all intents and purposes, I am a fairly average person. I have a kid, which I made all by myself. I write a few articles to clarify that, if you’re interested. I live in the most beautiful country, Canada, and reside in a comfortable little condominium with the kiddo and about 400 plants. I continue to want more plants. I’m an average plant lover. I published two books and while there are many more to come, they remain in my favourite format. Draft format. 

As an author, it’s important to keep more of your writing in draft than in final format, because it keeps you on your toes. It’s a lingering deadline that you create in your head, believe is real, begin stressing about, have actual emotion about and then, recklessly make life decisions about the impending and highly overwhelming deadline. 

Laughter is the best medicine!

Actually Ibuprofen is the best medicine. But laughter is a very close second. 

Thank you for coming and please use my Contact box if you’d like to reach out. There is a selection whereby you need to confirm you are human. This can be discussed if it poses a challenge for any other life form.

Enjoy!
