I am on a train to Munich writing this down<\/em>. My heart is a flood of gratitude and wonder. 2024 has been nothing short of extraordinary\u2014not because it was perfect, but because it was full\u2014full of lessons, challenges, and moments that reminded me why I do what I do.<br>This year was about <strong>saying yes.<\/strong><br>                                      Yes to opportunities.<br>                                            Yes to challenges.<br>                                                   Yes to growth.<br>As I look back, I see a year stitched together by moments of <strong>courage and connection,<\/strong> by stories shared on stages, in green rooms, and across borders.

I kicked off the year in a city that reminded me of creativity, innovation, and community. Whether it was<strong> moderating Managing Directors&#8217; talks <\/strong>or leading spontaneous <strong>piano sing-alongs<\/strong>, Milan set the tone for a year of meaningful connections.<br>???? I never thought I\u2019d say these words, but I <strong>produced a documentary this year that got selected to 9 film festivals and won 3 international awards<\/strong>!! In February we organized 4 film premieres in four countries.
