My journey into peacebuilding began not with answers, but with questions; about difference, belonging, and the quiet power of dialogue. As a teenager, I encountered interfaith spaces that were open, safe, and deeply human. For the first time, I experienced how listening could dissolve fear, and how conversation could become an act of courage. That moment shaped my life’s direction. So here I am, sharing my thoughts and reflections on this journey; one that began in curiosity and grew into a lifelong commitment to dialogue, inclusion, and peace.
