I’m excited to share that I’ve been featured in the latest "Close Friends" series by Casawi Magazine, a publication based in Milan that celebrates youth culture, creativity, and community across fashion, music, art, and more.
Behind the Feature
This interview was a chance to open up about my journey as a creative director, dance artist, and founder of Not Just Hip Hop (NJHH). Casawi’s team asked thoughtful questions about what drives me, my inspirations, and how my roots in Albania, Italy, and London have shaped both my life and my work.
What We Talked About
-
My Artistic Vision: I shared how my passion for movement, storytelling, and authentic connection is at the core of everything I do. My mission is to break boundaries—blending hip hop, street dance, and Afrobeats, and building communities where everyone’s story matters.
-
City Inspiration: London’s energy and diversity constantly inspire me, but my journey also carries the resilience of Albania and the artistry of Italy.
-
Creative Process: From meditation to late-night studio sessions, my creativity is fueled by real connections and lived experiences. Community is always at the heart of my work.
-
Ongoing Projects: The article highlights my recent and upcoming projects, including the NJHH community, my short film, and the Performance Anxiety Toolkit for dancers—a project close to my heart that blends mental health with movement.
Why This Matters
Being featured in Casawi Magazine is more than a personal milestone—it’s an opportunity to amplify the message of inclusivity, creativity, and community that defines NJHH. I’m grateful for the platform to share my story and hopefully inspire others to embrace their own journeys.
