Sneak Peak into my personal life…
I truly consider myself multicultural: I have been living in London for the past 11 years, I was born and raised in Paris with an Italian (and Turkish) heritage. It’s a character trait that I leverage daily both personally and professionally, allowing me to grasp and embrace different perspectives and adapt quickly to situations.
Where do you feel you belong the most?
Which nationality resonates with you the most?
I’ve often been asked those questions. Never really having an easy answer to give.
A few years ago, during a weekly business catch-up with one of my leader, he asked me which country and nationality I felt to belong the most to. The question stayed with me the whole day. On my commute back home, I was scribbling down some reflections and I found something that to date, still resonates.
It’s not about one culture more than the other.
It’s about making sense of how cultures have most influenced me and in which dimensions.
Italian blood, French spirit, and London lifestyle.
This does not summaries me, I am of course so much more than this, however it does provide a high-level sneak peek of my style.
Finding my identity amongst those cultures has been a journey and still is. My hope is to help and inspire others to find their own, in this in-between space.
I have a son, Louis, born in 2019, and it’s with admiration that I notice daily how much children can teach us about perseverance, resilience and mindfulness. I have now embarked on a new cross-cultural journey, with him.
