Balkan Bred

July 11, 1995 — a day that is permanently engraved in our brains forever with the words "Never Forget." During this episode, we pay tribute to the 8,372 victims of the Srebrenica genocide and chat with Amra Mujkanovic, the Events Manager for Remembering Srebrenica, a UK-based initiative. We dive into the educational events and activities that have been organized to commemorate the tragedy, as well as give you more information on how you can get involved.

A lot can happen in a year. We certainly can't believe we've been in business for a year — let alone all of the insane things that have happened since last March. In this week's episode, we recap some of our favorite memories and share our hopes and expectations for our second year of business. 

We wouldn't be here if it weren't for your support, so a HUGE thank you to everyone who has listened to this podcast, purchased a little piece of home from our store, or even just liked one of our Instagram photos. We appreciate it immensely!

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we chatted with lifestyle coach, Deniz Sehovic, about sticking to those New Year’s Resolutions. At this point in the year, the majority of us have completely given up but that doesn’t mean we can’t start over again. The truth is, you can make a change at ANY time in your life — you can start these new habits at ANY time in the year, it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the New Year!
