Lived experience and diaspora documentation preserve the voices, memories, and identities of people shaped by migration, displacement, and cultural transition. By sharing personal stories, communities keep history alive while honoring resilience, identity, and belonging across generations. 🌍✨

You start noticing it once you see it.

Not just in kitchens, but everywhere: the gap between contribution and recognition. Between what sustains a system, and what gets named as valuable.

And once you see it, it becomes harder to ignore how much of the world still runs on invisible hands.

There’s a lot being said right now about inclusion.

But inclusion is often understood as access, not recognition.

And those are not the same thing.

For many women, especially those moving across borders, this line is lived every day.

Not as absence of ability, but as absence of recognition.

This piece is about what happens when that line is redrawn.

In the past months I've been migrating :

✅ 6 e-mail accounts, 50+ e-mail aliases to @runbox - I've tried Proton as well, but for now I value having access to e-mail via standard protocols such as IMAP/SMTP
✅ @Vivaldi on desktop both home, work and on mobile
✅ Migrated to @thunderbird as my e-mail client
✅ Migrated to @jottacloud for cloud storage and backup
✅ Using encrypted SSD for local backups. Important files I don't want to loose

So far so good. I miss having opensource choices for e-mail clients on iOS.
