Hello

My Story

My given name is Hoda Jreidini, but I use the alias Dada on social media simply because it is easier to pronounce. I was born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1977, and I have had the privilege of traveling to a few countries and experiencing different cultures. I currently live in Tbilisi, Georgia.

​

My love of reading began when I was a few years old, and that was why I majored in English Literature and Theater. After teaching English for about twelve years, I had the opportunity to work as a paralegal at an educational institution, and after seven years of working there I graduated with a Master's degree in Business Law. You might think it is quite a leap to go from teaching English to working in the field of law, but most of my office work comprised of writing and reviewing contracts, and it seems that any type of writing appeals to me.

​

I began my journey on social media in 2022 with I Read Aloud, and my journey took me from reading poems and short stories to starting the Quite So! podcast in 2024, beginning a blog in 2025 and transforming people's failed love stories into fairytales in Why's Love So Hard? - and this last venture is turning into a new podcast on Spotify (only) because who does not enjoy listening to a love story now and then?

​

All in all, I am enjoying this new experience of unleashing my creativity, and I hope you hop on the ride and enjoy it with me, too!

​

I am leaving below my email address so that you are able to easily contact me should you have the urge to do so.
