Έλσον Ζγκούρη
Growing up as an immigrant child means speaking another language at home and another language at school while trying to balance between two worlds wanting to be accepted by both. And the more you try to immerse yourself in these two worlds, the more you see that in the εnd you are not a full member of either. Although in a world, that of society you are automatically a foreign body and yet the friction with everyday life leaves you no room not to consider yourself and part of this world. Racism, xenophobia, solidarity, love, and generally all of the above in a long way until you finally discover who you are, what you are, what you are not, and where you belong. You belong where you are accepted, where you are treated as equal.
