Romanian author of novels, essays, and poems, with publications in over 30 anthologies and magazines in English and Romanian. Journalist and word artist working to give voice to independent ideas on feminism, migration, sexual politics, and loneliness. Communications director with 15 years of experience in cultural diplomacy, marketing, and crisis PR in Romania, Austria, Germany, and the USA. In the past 10 years, migrant women in Germany have been the focus of my work. Community, a central element in women’s lives, lies at the heart of my research. My writing projects over the last three years for the Goethe-Institut and the Romanian cultural magazine DILEMA document the lives of Romanian women artists in Germany and the wartime experiences of women who fled from Ukraine and Israel to Germany. Through my ongoing writing and projects, I aim to honor the efforts of women who have escaped traumatic circumstances to build safer lives, find their own space in the world, and create a community that, in the words of Emily Dickinson, “illuminates their experiences rather than sealing them away.” In 2024, I founded Girl, Show Me That Body (of Work), a series of literary and performance events hosted by Lettrétage Literatur Haus Berlin. This initiative promotes the work of women writers and artists with migrant backgrounds in Berlin, bridging communication and experience, and encouraging audiences not just to consume experiences but to co-create them, fostering reflection, rethinking, and action.
