Detina Zalli and Argita Zalli while speaking on TEDx Talks |
The story of the twins Detina and Argita Zalli was published in the American media on TED.com
Let us tell the world who Albanians are!
From "tracks" in:
1. Harvard University
2. University of Oxford
3. Cambridge University!
Giving a TEDx Talks is a huge achievement for any successful person around the world.
This achievement becomes even greater when it comes to sharing your history, the country we have in the center of our hearts, our Albania, our city of Patos, where we come from.
This is our story with which we hope to inspire many young people around the world to achieve the success they deserve. The speech of the Zalli twins, as Detina says, was inspired by the former president of America, Barack Obama.
Highlights of the story:
1. Sometimes in life there are no second chances, It's now or never. Our time was NOW!
2. We had to try. We have to believe. If you believe in victory, victory will believe in you!
3. Being a refugee is not an insult, but it is a symbol of strength, courage, and victory!
A new book: Good Morning, Hope
The Zalli twin sisters have also ready to be published a book entitled "Good Morning, Hope".
In a post on Facebook, Argita writes:
Cover of the book "Good Morning Hope", Argita and Detina Zalli, coming on March 7, 2023 |
The first pages of this book were written when we were 12 years old, sleeping outside in Boulogne, France (to avoid the French police) in order to get on trucks and travel to the UK.
The civil war in Albania at that time had made it so that we had no choice but to "escape".
The road to "freedom" was unimaginable: mafia, guns, speedboats, trucks, greed, bribery, and women traffickers.
But amidst the utter chaos and confusion, we made it. Our book, Good Morning, Hope, will finally be published on March 7, 2023.
We are so excited to share our story with you and give the world the hope we all so desperately need to say that everything is going to be okay!
