Such an inspiring morning today at Pier 88 in New York, where I had the privilege of visiting the Italian Navy ship Nave Alpino with friends.

We had the opportunity to speak with several mariners about their work, including missions rescuing migrants and others lost at sea. Hearing about these missions felt especially meaningful to me, as they touch the very human realities of migration that I explore in my work.

The mariners I met this year, like those I met last year, are remarkable professionals. I admire their discipline, precision, and deep sense of duty.

I was honored that the ship’s Captain graciously accepted a copy of my book for the ship’s onboard library.

Neither Here Nor There: A Guide for Immigrants and the Therapists Who Walk with Them

I hope the mariners may find it a meaningful read during their journeys.

A special thank you to Capitano di Fregata Sara Vinci, the first woman to command a FREMM-class ship, for your generous hospitality and leadership.

Part of me feels a little sadness that when I was growing up the possibility of becoming a mariner was not truly open to women. But I am deeply happy to see women like you now in command.

Exciting hour spent with Simone W Johnson on The Immigrant Experience in America Podcast.

We spoke about immigration, my personal journey, my clinical work with immigrants, and my book Neither Here Nor There: A Guide for Immigrants and the Therapists Who Walk with Them.

Grateful for conversations that center identity, belonging, and the emotional realities of living between worlds.

Domestic violence is not only a problem for women and their children. It is not only an issue for the perpetrator.
It is a societal concern—one that involves all of us.

Domestic violence persists because, knowingly or unknowingly, we reproduce social stereotypes that normalize harmful behaviors. It also persists because victims are often isolated, unheard, or unsure whom they can trust. As a community, we have the power to interrupt this cycle: by learning, by noticing, and by standing with those who need support.

Come and join us for a conversation and an open space of reflection.
Together, we will explore how cultural norms, gender expectations, migration stress, and family dynamics intersect to shape the experience of domestic violence—and what each of us can do to foster change.

By joining us and reflecting together, you will become more observant, better able to recognize signs of abuse around you, and more equipped to support those who may need your presence, your listening, and your strength.

Your awareness can save someone’s life.
Your voice can help shift the culture.
Your presence matters. Pls rsvp at: Team@strategicacommunication.com https://conta.cc/3WUm4PA
