  I have always been incredibly passionate about multiculturalism and the benefits of growing up amongst diverse cultures, languages, people and histories. Working with Generation M, the youth division of the United Macedonian Diaspora, enables me to connect, promote and celebrate young Macedonian change makers all over the globe.
