Kübra (32) is an author and activist in Hamburg, Germany. She just published her first book, “Language and Being”. On the interdependence of language, perception and the way we treat each other. A broad and ancient topic, but Kübra found a way to talk about it that resonates with many. It’s a bestseller allready, maybe because she speaks and lives in three languages: German, Turkish and English.

Kübra’s Utopia: It’s still under construction, for her next book. We get a sneak peek. It’s about political discourse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We talk about conflicting truths, about stones with souls, mushrooms and Muslim women. And about public attention and relevance.
