What Stays True When Everything Changes

from Friends from Wild Places · host Shireen Botha/Tanya Scotece ft Anila Nicklos

If you had no witnesses and only your word to offer, what would convince a jury you’re telling the truth? We start with that uncomfortable question while unpacking a high profile attempted murder trial in Hawaii, then follow the thread where it really leads: integrity, consistency, and what your life says about you when the stakes are high.Anila NicklosTel: +1 216-870-1054Email: [email protected]: http://www.linkedin.com/in/anila-nicklosThen we welcome our special guest, Anila Nicklos, originally from Tirana, Albania. Anila brings the kind of insight that comes from living a full reinvention. She shares what it actually feels like to leave your homeland, lose your support system, and try to belong in a new culture without losing yourself. One of the most striking parts of her story is how identity can be tied to language. She was already being published as a writer in Albania, then arrived in the US and faced the reality that her work couldn’t be read. From journalism to leadership, she explains how she rebuilt her voice and eventually began writing fiction in English, one hard won sentence at a time.Join us as we support Our Rescue Organization this month!Subscribe, share this conversation with someone rebuilding their next chapter, and leave a review so more listeners can find Friends From Wild Places.
