What does it mean to grow up between cultures? When do you feel that you belong? Deniza Miftari makes these questions personal and opens them up for discussion. As the author of Tussenin and a speaker, she connects her own story with her work on diversity and inclusion.
Stories that connect. Conversations that set things in motion.
A personal story that opens a conversation
Deniza was born in Kosovo and grew up in Belgium. Life between cultures runs through her book and her work. In a talk, keynote or guest lecture, she brings her own experience together with questions of identity, migration and the freedom to be yourself. The starting point is recognition: what do we see when we look beyond a label?
Tussenin explores family, migration, the legacy of war and the search for a place of your own. A reading or author conversation offers time to reflect on these themes. The book is the starting point; the audience’s questions and perspectives help shape the conversation.
For schools, organisations and cultural gatherings
Deniza speaks to people who want to open up conversations about identity and inclusion, from students and teams to readers. Moderating and panel discussions are also part of her work. Tell us who you want to reach and what matters to the group, so we can explore an approach that fits.
