They simplify what we tend to overcomplicate, showing us paths we may have overlooked.” This year, I’m ending on a more reflective note. 2024 was challenging on so many levels – personally, professionally and emotionally. Instead of looking outward at achievements and milestones, I find myself turning inward, reflecting in a more holistic way on what truly matters: family, language and the cultures that shape us, anchor us and help us grow. Language, especially our native language, is more than a tool for communication.…
