A whirlwind of incredible wins and heart-breaking lows swept the world this year. 2022 has truly been a mixture of emotions for many.
America saw their abortion law overturned, Queen Elizabeth II passed away after 70 years on the throne, and the devastating war between Ukraine and Russia broke out. Not to mention the recession that lingers.
With such tragedy, it’s difficult not to feel sombre, but there was also celebration; wonderful moments all around the globe that can’t be overshadowed by the sadness.
Holi festival in Vrindavan and Diwali festival of lights were amongst many events that brought colour and joy into the year. The Lionesses brought it home in the women’s World Cup and we celebrated 50 years of Pride.
