I’m the Founder of Too Damn Young, but I’m also a really fun aunt, a pretty chill and loyal friend, and an overall funny human being. I write on Too Damn Young for a couple of different reasons: (1) It’s my rock. When things get hard, I come here. (2) Sometimes I need to write words someone else can nod their head to. (3) Most times I write so that I don’t forget or so that the kids in my family (like my nephew — whose face is partly seen in the above pic) can remember what my grandma was like or can learn about my mom, an aunt/grandma they never got to meet.
(PS this is written in first person, because, well, it’s my site so it’d be awkward if it wasn’t.)

Ayesha Kamellia
Ayesha was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. Her mother, a single parent, died when she was 19 from breast cancer. Ayesha has since lived in NY, Mauritius, Nepal and Swaziland before returning to Toronto where she now lives. She is learning to ‘adult’ without parents and hopes that by writing about lessons learned going through her 20s parent-less, other young adults may find some comfort in knowing that despite the pain, things work out.
