“Blogging is something I fell into, it wasn’t in the blueprint of any of my plans. I am a writer by nature, and essentially – “-Petrona Joseph.

In 2015, when my salary was cut in half while I worked at Park Avenue BMW, I made the choice to walk away and to acquire my own business. Becoming a store owner was my greatest experience and my greatest downfall. I lost every dollar in my name and about 20k of my father’s.

It was in my deep depression that I felt the call to be a Writer more intensely. I never had a break in my life, so for the first time I had nothing to do when I closed the store. I stayed locked up at home, secluded and closed off from the world. So when a fellow Blogger invited me to an event, she said it was an intervention. She urged me to no longer wallow in self-pity and get out of the house.

I started to attend more and more events, to connect with people and write some articles about my experience. The attraction was instant and it gave me the confidence to pursue this new passion on a deeper level. Blogging was definitely something I could do naturally and showcasing the lifestyle, fashion and culture of both New York & Montreal was something I had in mind for a while since I always felt like I had the eye to spot hot trends, designers or places to go.

What Did Your Learn From Your Experience?

Fast forward to 2017, I am a certified Blogger. I like to think that writing healed my soul. New levels of social interaction also allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and develop a new business.

Blogging is a business for me now. I took my experience of Sales, Business Development, Customer Service and merged them into blogging as a service.

Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time

Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.

The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.

Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.

You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!

their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.

What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.

Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.

There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.

When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.

I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.

Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.

One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.

For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.

What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.

”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

We are now entering an era where we want to know more about what is going on on the other side of the world.

How people are living, their culture and what is their reality compared to ours.

Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.
