Hi! I'm Raissa Wirngo.

I am a blogger and transcriptionist. I love to write about health, entertainment, sustainable development, personal development, and technology. The purpose of my writing is to add value, improve people's lives, inform them, so I basically write on anything that could make people better off. When it comes to entertainment, I tend to write about a wide variety of artists, from Latino pop queen Shakira, to Swedish EDM producer Avicii, and others. I also cover events and shows in the entertainment industry like Latin Billboard Awards and Grammy Awards. There as well is a Sports page for sports lovers. The intention behind the creation of this blog was to provide some sort of "one-stop shop" for readers - a place where people could read a little bit of everything. My articles have been read over 100,000 times since I started writing on this blog. I created the blog in 2014 but only started writing regularly in 2017. Since 2018, I write new articles on a weekly basis - at least once a week. People from all walks of life are invited and are welcome to read this blog. You can subscribe for email notifications and get the articles delivered to your inbox. Here's me in 20 seconds.

Stay tuned for more exciting content on Rmaniatics. I named my blog Rmaniatics as a contraction for the things R (Raissa) - that is me - is passionate about (maniatics). The maniac here stands for enthusiast, aficionado, or devotee, not the psychopathic type of maniac (laughs).
What's more, you can read my articles on Medium. 
Thanks!

The death of a loved one is always an extremely painful thing to bear, and people of different cultures grieve in diverse ways, some more unique than others. A typically unique way of grieving is that of the Dani (an Indonesian tribe). Finger-cutting is a fundamental part of grieving for women of the Dani tribe, and pertains to their women only. According to The Globe and Mail, an estimated 250,000 Dani tribe members live in a town named Wamena, in the extremely remote central highland area of Papua Province.
