Aww, Ula! Thank you so much for being there during those years—you know how messy some of it really was behind the scenes. Your words mean a lot! You’re right that the systems are deeply flawed and many times, unfair. What’s not covered in this post is how long it took for these lessons about limitations to truly land for me. I felt powerless and hurt in many situations, and I was lucky to have people who supported me emotionally during that time, along with other advantages that some people may not have.
Also, I appreciate you sharing your own challenges too, even with an EU passport. It’s a good reminder that these barriers affect people in different ways.
Thanks so much for the good wishes about my career and future impact—really means a lot! 💙
