The birth of my daughter, Aya, just three days before my thirty-eighth birthday, marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. It prompted me to reflect more deeply on the kind of person I wanted to become and the values I hope to pass on.
Motherhood has given me a new way of seeing the world—with greater curiosity, patience, and appreciation for the small details that often go unnoticed. It has also influenced the way I experience art and culture, reminding me that discovery is something to be shared across generations.
Like many people, my journey has included moments of joy alongside heartbreak, loss, and profound personal challenges. Those experiences have shaped my resilience, strengthened my sense of purpose, and reminded me of the importance of empathy, hope, and creativity.
