Please do not use this word in my presence or at all. Do not write it out. Do not spell. Do not whisper it.

After writing this, I had to face a court of whataboutist messages. As if I sat there on my sofa thinking of something spectacular to say. The tone policing is despicable.

Five years after the first lockdown, this morning before work I finally baked my first Sourdough bread (that did not fail) 🍞 😋 never late to the party 🥲

This is so depressing.

When you have family and friends in Germany and fear the consequences this will have for them and any person who is produced as an ‘Other’.

The rage makes me feel powerless.

Balkan sisters!

For a special episode during Women's History Month at Diasporas Speaking, I want to hear about your experiences navigating Balkan social media.
Share your thoughts on topics like misogyny, body image, and the effects of patriarchy that you’ve encountered online.

What happens when a state declares independence? How does the collective mindset and the political scene evolve? To explore these questions I talked to Dr Aidan Hehir about his latest book ‘Kosovo and the Internationals: Hope, Hubris, and the End of History’

Running a podcast solo is a lot of work, but knowing it’s appreciated makes it all rewarding and uplifting. It's a privilege to be entrusted with your histories.

With just twelve episodes out, I’ve already reached 172 followers on Spotify alone.
