Relationships
The lock is still there. Are they still talking?
In Hamburg, I looked at all those love locks and had one question: how many of these couples no longer even speak to each other?

Life between cultures
A new Albanian awakening starts with knowledge and unity
My call for a new Albanian awakening: put our shared language, culture and future above the divisions of party and religious affiliation.
Life between cultures

My appeal to Albanians at home and abroad: take an interest, seek information and join the discussion instead of looking away.
Life between cultures
At Kruja Castle: respect for history includes the visit itself
A short reflection from my visit to Kruja Castle: caring for a historic place also means addressing what visitors encounter outside.
Three ways in.
Love well. Live your values. Carry our roots forward. My stories begin with Albanian life and speak to anyone asking similar questions.
What I challenge: disrespect, broken promises and pride that never becomes care or action.
