I am Anasia Barclay, a Bermudian mother, student and the founder of The Village Within.

My journey did not begin with a business background. It began with my own experience of juggling motherhood, work, study and money, and the pressure of trying to hold it all together. I wanted a planner that reflected the realities of solo parenting, and when I could not find exactly what I was looking for, I began creating it.

That idea became The Village Within. As it grew, I realised that anyone can carry more than others see, so I built a brand that welcomes parents, caregivers, students and professionals too.

"I created The Village Within because I understand what it feels like to carry so much, and I wanted to build something that could make that load a little lighter for someone else."
