"att fika"

Att fika :: Swedish for "join me for a cup of coffee". My gramma's family started in Sweden, migrated to Scotland and Ireland before settling North America. A few centuries later, we connected with out Scandinavian heritage in Minnesota. Imagine it, a family lives five generations in the Texas heat, and migrates to Minneapolis one cold January day! This began my adoration of living among cultures that are not my own.
Twenty-eight years ago, I stepped out of my passport country for the first time. A young girl, doing life with her friends, using their voices to help transform a community in the middle of Central America. The moment I stepped off the plane, took a deep breath and realized, "this is what I was created for!" Almost three decades later and the desire to use my voice for transformation remains.
Let's travel together. Att fika.
Life is better in community.
