Symbolism in Prishtine everywhere. Seems a lot of people with expensive cars driving around. Questionable on so many grounds. Thinking, who is funding the billboards? The spirit that they aim to convey is not there amongst the people they aim to reach, who seem preoccupied in their daily struggles.

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’ #Kosova #Kosovo

(The final episode for this year you all 😂) Thank you all for the support! I understand the above will perhaps unravel some walls, but we are here to build bridges. And to follow this metaphor, a bridge needs to be built on a solid foundation for sustenance.

Popular culture often projects a specific narrative onto diaspora women. Framed as “property,” women are expected to transition from being under a father’s authority to a husband’s, pressured to conform to rigid nationalistic and patriarchal expectations of marrying within their culture.
