What was meant to be a quick work trip turned into two and a half weeks. I am so grateful to have been surrounded by family in such turbulent and unsettling times. Maintaining any sense of normalcy felt surreal, but it reminded me that we have to actively seek and protect our joy. In the big moments and the small ones. It was also a reminder that in a globalised world, no conflict is truly someone else’s problem — empathy and compassion must always lead. 🤍
