Living with breast cancer and a seven-year-old son who battles chronic kidney disease on a daily basis haven’t dampened the joie de vivre that blogger Lorinda Mamo exudes.

The young mother shares her inspiring story in this month’s edition of Sunday Circle, which is out this week with The Sunday Times of Malta, together with the fully-interactive digital edition that will be accessible on the TOM Mag app.

Lorinda’s world was turned upside down when, soon after her son was born, she was diagnosed with a chronic kidney condition and Prune Belly Syndrome. One blow followed another as, soon after, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

She shares her story of hope and silver lining with Sunday Circle, recounting how she stopped being angry at the world and, instead, found solace sharing her experiences with the outside world through her popular blog.

This edition of Sunday Circle also features experimental photographer Ritty Tacsum ahead of her upcoming solo exhibition. Ritty, who at 28 has already exhibited her work on the American and Asian continents, gives a frank interview as she delves into how photography offers an outward reflection of her introvert nature – a video interview on the digital app gives exclusive insight into her work.

The digital edition offers extra content in addition to that found on the print version, including video interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.

Onto lighter topics, March also sees a highly-entertaining interview with stand-up comedian Kevin Naudi.

With carnival weekend in full swing, readers with a well-developed sweet tooth will particularly enjoy Pippa Mattei’s pancakes and prinjolata special, while on the arts front we take a look at the publishing scene in Malta and meet actress Isabel Warrington, star of the upcoming production An Inspector Calls.

There’s also fashion, shopping, personalities and more. So don’t forget to check out the print or digital version of this month’s edition of Sunday Circle.

Sunday Circle is published by Allied Newspapers.
