Barbora knows that behind every journey across borders is a story waiting to be told. Her mission is simple but powerful: to collect personal stories of displacement and share them through sequential illustration, creating a space where expats and immigrants can see their own experiences reflected — and feel less alone. Over the past year, while on the Make Happen programme, Barbora turned that mission into something real. She wrote a full graphic novel exploring the Eastern European immigrant experience in the UK during Brexit — a time when the meaning of "belonging" was being rewritten every day. Her novel doesn't just tell a story; it offers a hand to those navigating the strange in-between spaces of identity, home, and hope. Now, Barbora’s work is heading for a wider audience. She’s working with a major publisher in the Czech Republic on editing and preparing the novel for release. And she’s not stopping there — new ideas are already flowing for a sequel, continuing the work of giving voice to lives too often overlooked. One story at a time, Barbora is helping strangers become a community — and turning displacement into connection.
