A book by plurilingal & multicultural Dubliners written a century after James Joyce's 'Dubliners'

In preparation to speak at the launch I'm reflecting on Dublin, love & my Dubliner's immigrant heart. It pushes me into plurilingal investigation of the meaning of the word love....

Half a page, not bad for a migrant writing in English as a second language.

Despite the media love for the sensationalism of negativity people live a different life.

In Ireland 73% of people feel comfortable with having migrants as neighbours.

In Poland 60% of people are against the nationalist citizens’ border patrols

Stories of lived experience can be told through facts or a reflection on meaning. Thank you Islammiyah Kadejo for the opportunity to focus on the latter🙏

20 years in Ireland today! What started as a working holiday adventure turned into a permanent home. In recent years, I wrote a lot about my evolving sense of identity and belonging. So here is the story of 20 years of migration, setting up home in Ireland, and my work (links provided below).

While some people are destroying Ballymena in anti-migrant riots, migrants in Birmingham are saving lives by donating blood. #BloodyForeigners

Ireland dropped 5 points on the Migrant Integration Policy Index #MIPEX Once considered one of the top countries for migrant integration Ireland is now considered a country with slightly unfavourable environment for integration.

'Migration is a story of grief wrapped in gratitude.' 20 years in Ireland, a new job and my story written in my own words in the Irish Independent. This week is definitely all about gratitude. Link to the article below.

People who grew up in a different political culture struggle to effectively engage in electoral politics. Generic workshop don't address migrant specific barriers. I'm currently delivering 'Electoral campaigning 101 for migrants' to the 2025 cohort of political interns @immigrationirl.bsky.social

I got to meet 2 amazing women leaders. Former President of Ireland Mary McAleese & the Marshall of the Polish Senate Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. The level of charisma of those 2 women is off the scale.

I was heartbroken to miss this gathering. 8y ago I come up with an idea to build a platform & network of migrant leaders in Ireland. In those 8y I witnessed the growth & increased importance of migrant voices in leadership positions & I'm grateful that I have played a small role in this.
