Looking for a Turkish-Polish family for a journalism project
Hi everyone,
I'm a journalist working on a story about the Turkish community in Poland, and I'm looking for a very specific family to speak with.
I'm trying to connect with families where one parent (ideally a father) came to Poland from Turkey in the 1980s or 1990s as a trader or entrepreneur (think textiles, the old Stadion Dziesięciolecia market, Wólka Kosowska), and who now has a child who grew up here, Polish-Turkish, fully bilingual, building their life in Poland.
The story is about how this community has evolved across generations: from the bazaar to the boardroom. It's a human story, told with respect, and will be published in Daily Sabah, a major English-language Turkish newspaper.
I'm based in Warsaw and happy to meet in person, over coffee, wherever you're comfortable. Your story deserves to be told.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, please DM me or drop a comment below. All initial conversations are completely off the record, no pressure whatsoever.
Çok teşekkürler, dziękuję, thank you :))
