I can remember certain moments where I really thought, this is mine to do, let's say, and the earliest I think is when I was around eight. I was living in the Far East, in Malaysia, with my parents and family, and there was a civil war going on. One of the children of our household was missing for 24 hours but was found again. The presence of that civil war was quite close by, and I can still remember this feeling that I thought, this is just one big misunderstanding. If people would really listen to each other and speak more, this wouldn't be needed. It's not necessary to do this. We just need to understand and connect better. My parents also very much taught us that, when we moved every two or three years, and when we came somewhere, we would ask, how does it work here? Because it was very different cultures, Arab culture, Chinese, Malayan, Indian.
