About Me

 Hi, I’m Lyrian Fleming, and I’m a  writer with a particular love for international development.

In my day job I speak to around 10,000 Australians a year about poverty and the role of women and girls in breaking the poverty cycle for CARE Australia.

I found my way to CARE via my year as an Australian Youth Ambassador for Development in Bangladesh, where I blogged about my experiences.

I worked for CARE Bangladesh on Women’s Empowerment, Income Generation, and Health Care. And I loved it.

Now you can find me in Melbourne, mostly. This blog is about my attempts to ‘be the change’. 

If you would like to say hi, commission work, or send me something interesting, you can e mail me, reach me on twitter @lyrianfleming, or leave a comment on this site.

Thanks for visiting
