Anna Lekas Miller: Rewriting Migration Stories Through Romance

Award-winning journalist Anna Lekas Miller is transforming how we understand global migration and conflict through an unexpected lens: love stories. In her latest appearance on The Sassy Show, she offers a compelling glimpse into her work as both a storyteller and someone who has lived the complexities of cross-border relationships. Known as the journalist who "spices up migration stories with tales of love and romance," Anna shares intimate insights into her journey from covering war zones to writing her debut book "Love Across Borders." She reads the captivating opening chapter, revealing her own cross-border love story and accidental marriage proposal, while discussing how meeting her Syrian husband Salam transformed both her personal life and reporting perspective. With warmth and humor, Anna explores the challenges of international relationships, visa restrictions, and how finding love helped her discover a new way to tell stories of resilience, hope, and human connection in conflict zones.
