Welcome to my blog!

Ciao, I’m Nancy

Sociologist by degree, laughter yoga lover, mama of a rapper, inspired by my intercultural love story, believer in the possibility of creating caring communities.

I'm so glad you've found your way to my little corner of the Internet!

My journey of discovery begins with exploring the unique qualities that make different cultures special.

As someone who straddles two worlds separated by an ocean, my love story inspired me to rediscover my partner’s roots in Italy and my own in Canada.

I embrace the importance of bridging communities and creating inclusivity and belonging. I would like to connect you with inspiring people from all over the world through my blog posts, interviews, and videos. You’ll discover hidden gems and fascinating stories; I’ll give you a taste of the experiences and insights that await you. You’ll find something to energize and encourage you on your own path.

At the core of who we are...

Cultural activist, Consultant, Writer, and Italian cooking lifestyle lover

The Gallery of Human Migration

Be inspired by the stories of migration!

As cultural activists and individuals with migration experiences, we proudly present the Gallery of Human Migration.

The Gallery acknowledges that Migration is not merely a physical movement; it is a fundamental human right and a profound shared experience that reshapes individuals, communities, and cultures.

At this moment, we believe that Canada possesses a vital insight the world needs: an understanding of how a multicultural society is established and continually fostered. The Gallery of Human Migration aims to illuminate the forces that drive societal transformations through the vibrant contributions of Migration.

To help celebrate this vibrant view of Migration, we will be launching several projects including the Gallery’s Stories Collection. Our aim with this project is to collect Personal Stories of Migration that will be featured online.
