I’m a journalist/TV presenter with more than 20 years’ experience working for some of the world’s leading news networks. A migrant everywhere and obsessed with the different narratives within International News, I’m here to build a community with you.

I’ve called this newsletter ‘News with a foreign accent’ because

a) I have one

b) Feeling like a foreigner everywhere gives me a different take on things

I’ll focus on current events and the topics I’m truly passionate about: Migration, diversity in journalism, the threat of Fascism, all things to do with bilingualism/being second-language English and EU citizens in the UK post-Brexit.

Join the crew

As a news anchor, viewers can’t engage with me during broadcasts. But here I want to know what you think and what you want to know more about. Everybody’s welcome, including but not only:

Anyone with a passion for trying to make sense of the world
Second-language English speakers who realise how much the English language shapes the world
EU citizens in the UK who feel (rightly) that they’re not represented in British media
Aspiring News anchors/journalists

A lot of content will be free, so click subscribe and I’ll see you soon!
