One fateful day, when life was so innocent, a young girl had a photography class that she loved. And she dreamed of one day becoming a world-renowned photographer. Some dreams have to be deferred for a while and this dream was one of them. This young girl also loved to read and write and most definitely had a lot to say.

Twenty years later, after a life lived and many postponed dreams the original dreams of becoming a photographer and writer were back. And this magnificent collaboration of dreams and passions formed Modestly Bold Magazine.
