I write about social and environmental issues across the Mediterranean, mostly between Portugal and the Levant. I am drawn to stories that highlight hope, beauty, and joy in the most unlikely places. My work focuses on resilience, courage, and kindness in contexts of violence, oppression and environmental degradation; on the ways people respond to adversity with creativity and resourcefulness, and on how oppressed and marginalised groups express defiance and resistance. I’m interested in telling stories that foster solidarity, engagement and accountability.
