My parents and my brother were all born in Albania. My brother left when he was around seven and then they stayed in France for a year when they escaped Albania at the time because it was communist. So when they stayed in France for the year, it was funny, my brother started speaking French and I was almost born in France, so I could have been a French baby. And that would have been cool, could have been eating croissants since birth. But my dad wanted to come here. So I was born in Wisconsin. They only knew Albanian when I was born, so I only knew Albanian. So when I went to kindergarten, I didn’t know English. Maybe just hi and bye. And then I had an ESL teacher up until like eighth grade.
I knew she have an Albanian name, but not that she could speak albanian. She is as much Albanian as Dua Lipa.
