This season has been sprinkling a little extra joy into my blogging journey, and I’m so grateful.
Just weeks after finding out that my blog was listed among FeedSpot’s Top Black Female Blogs, I made another beautiful discovery:
One of my blog posts was referenced on Wikipedia.
Yes — Wikipedia!

Honestly, it felt like the cherry on top of a very sweet cake. 😊
First, the FeedSpot recognition, and then this — it felt like the universe was giving me a quiet nod of encouragement.
Here’s how it happened:
I was checking my blog’s performance on Google Search Console — trying to understand where my traffic was coming from — when I noticed “Wikipedia.org” listed as one of the sources. I blinked. Wait… Wikipedia?
Curious (and very confused), I went to Google and typed Wikipedia + My Local Adventures Blog, and there it was.
My Ekwang recipe — a dish that means so much to me and so many Cameroonians — had been referenced on a Wikipedia page about Cameroonian cuisine.
Here's the link to the post on Wikipedia:
https://ig.wikipedia.org/wiki/EkwangLet me tell you, I couldn’t stop smiling.
To make it even more surprising, the reference had been there since 2021, and I had no idea. It blew my mind that someone read that blog post, found it worthy, and decided to cite it on such a globally respected platform.
It was a quiet win. But such a meaningful one.
These little moments — being recognised on FeedSpot, and now this Wikipedia reference — remind me of something I always try to hold onto:
Your work is doing more than you know.
Even when it feels like you’re writing into silence, someone somewhere is reading, learning, being touched, being helped. Sometimes, they’re even referencing it on Wikipedia!
If you're creating from the heart, sharing your story, your culture, or your truth, keep going. Don’t stop. The impact isn’t always loud, but it’s always real.
To my lovely readers, thank you. Your quiet support means the world to me. 💛
And if you’re new here, welcome! There’s so much to explore here — from Cameroonian food to lifestyle, healing, motherhood, and growing through life, one honest post at a time.

Living again. Writing still. Grateful always.
