As a child, Europe smelled like Nivea cream to me. It was the only western product we could occasionally buy on the beach, in secret, from East German tourists who had come to share the communist sun (which shone brighter than the capitalist one, it goes without saying). A little round blue box containing a feeling of distant, inaccessible freedom.
Today, chosen for this
Brussels Faces for 2030 campaign, I realise just how long the road has been. It has taken a lot of hard work, study and sacrifice, but it has also brought me great satisfaction. From the beaches of the Black Sea or the arid plains of southern Romania to Brussels, I am proud to represent the Romanian community in Belgium on the road to a more open and inclusive Europe. And to think that freedom always has shades of blue.
If Brussels had 1,000 people... because hope for the future of a city that deserves the best, a city that has been martyred over the last 20 years, will one day make history.
An audio archive of the interviews will be available for posterity and an exhibition will be organised soon. #StayCalmAndLoveBrussels
