Radhika Dandeniya

Freelancer B2C Copywriter and Features Writer

United Kingdom

Hi I'm Radhika. I am passionate consumer facing writer. I have a diploma in Journalism and became certified in Digital Marketing Content Creation.
Prior to going freelance I spent 20 years working in Magazine Journalism, Events, and Broadcast. Some of my past roles include Assistant Producer at BBC's Women's Hour, Features Editor of Asiana and Asiana Wedding magazines, Events Manager at the Foreign Press Association and Events Marketing within Unilever's Personal Care Division. I am currently helping small businesses create content for social media to increase brand awareness and drive conversions.

In my spare time, I run a dog-sitting business and manage a blogging website that covers curly haircare for South Asian women, mental health, travel and dating.
I also love solo travelling with a particular fondness for Italy - I've lived there twice and speak the language.

Why I've Outgrown Online Dating - A Curlerful Mind

For the past 11 months I've been single and, for the most part, cool about it. I have quite a bit going on and when I don't, relish the idea of chilling out at home. So yes I really don't mind being on my own. But, when I meet up with coupled friends, the social inadequacy creeps in and I think I should get myself a plus one.

It just makes me wonder how much progress have we actually made? My friend...

It's time to talk about Mixed Race and Hair

A former POTUS and soon-to-be US VP, Kamala Harris, are #MIXEDRACE and with the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it's no wonder The Economist hailed the mixed-race population as those who "often defy labels" and therefore "will be crucial in determining the future direction of identity politics."

Think you know Bra Shopping? Think Again!

If, like me, you thought bra shopping involved knowing your size and getting it in a style you like, you're going to be shocked. As @liza.theboobologist showed me on a recent shopping spree there's A LOT more to it. Just as well because I am in desperate need of new bras and instead of making the mistakes and wasting cash, I decide to up my game and become a savy bra shopper. #bigbust #bra #brashopping #fullerbust
