The Broke Bitches Gourmet Cookbook
The Broke Bitches Gourmet Cookbook Tasty recipes from a perpetually broke bitch When my little sister asked me for access to all of my recipes for her Christmas gift last year, I don’t think either of us expected this cookbook to be the outcome. But once I got started transferring some of my recipes from…
The Free Press
Paige Mueller for The Free Press I was laying beneath my mosquito net after a particularly emotionally draining day in Nigeria, when I logged on to check my emails and my jaw fell open in surprise. I had one new email. One that I wasn’t expecting even a little bit. The subject line read, “A…
Where is home?
This article was featured in Feminist Space Camp magazine in November 2019. You can visit the site to see the online issue here: CLICK ME! By: Paige Mueller Sometimes home is a place I’ve been thousands of times before. A place I know so well I can tell you what time the sun hits the…
Confronting my White Saviour Complex
This is something I’ve wanted to write for a long time now. Reading it might make you feel uncomfortable. I sure as hell felt uncomfortable while writing it. And that’s a good thing. That’s the whole point actually. If I was doing what I do (working in development as a white woman in countries with…
Seeing past the statistics
Approximately 35 white plastic chairs huddled under a tin-roofed awning extending from an empty concrete building into the red mud of the village road. Rain dripped off the ends of the tin sheets and created a thunderous racket for those of us sitting underneath its shelter. I was there with six colleagues from GPI, our…
Remember why you’re here?
Sweat dripped between my shoulder blades and pooled in the fabric of my jumpsuit as I walked up the steps to a small, one-storey concrete building at the far end of the courtyard. I followed Endy, my “manager” at Girls Power Initiative, blinded in a delightful way by the sun reflecting off her rainbow-sequined high…
What to say a week before I go away
Over the last few days I’ve sat down to write this blog post no fewer than four times. The first time, I spouted some nonsensical metaphor about the unfamiliar, the unknown and a deep, dark body of water. I was trying wayyyyy too hard. The next two times, I felt like I wasn’t writing for…
Moving to Nigeria
Hey blog followers… it’s been awhile! I have some super exciting news to share and that’s why I’m jumping back on the blog wagon. As you can probably guess from the extremely straightforward and non-creative title of this post, I’m moving to Nigeria (and no, I have not fallen victim to a 419 scam)! I’m…
Williams Lake Tribune
Paige Mueller for the Williams Lake Tribune On October 12th, 2017 I drove along a winding highway that delivered me into Williams Lake, a small town in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region of British Columbia. I’d just been hired on for a six-week contract with the local newspaper, the Williams Lake Tribune. Strangely enough, I’d read about…

Hidden Culture: The Bankariya People of Nepal
During my time in Nepal, I had the great good fortune to spend some time with the once-nomadic Bankariya ethnic group deep in the forests of southern Nepal. I created this short documentary in order to introduce the group to a world that is mostly unaware of their existence, triumphs, and struggles.
