Head of fundraising
I have been part of PRAHO! for almost two years.
After moving to Prague, I would often come across PRAHO! stickers. They made me feel more at home here, less alone. Then, almost two years ago, I found a PRAHO! sticker in a hidden café in Paris. In that moment, I knew it was fate. I wrote to the then small team on Instagram and asked whether they might need help with social media.
For me, PRAHO! means bringing light into darker days, reflecting more deeply, stepping further into myself, and enriching Prague’s public space.
One word to describe the project – something more.

Favorite testimony:
Things happen, then different things happen, and everything will be okay.
When do you feel truly “alive”?
At concerts and when listening to my loud favourite music. On a summer evening ride home on a Lime-e. During airplane take-off. When the sun shines into my eyes so brightly that I don’t see anything for a few seconds. Or in long, loud laughter with those closest to me.
What remains within you, even when everything around you changes?
Optimism, a smile, and lipstick on my lips.
What moves you the most?
When someone remembers something about me that I did not think they noticed. Those pink-orange sunsets, and when the entire country comes together to raise funds for people who need it.
What would you want changing in the world?
I would wish for greater justice, in every direction. I would wish for us to be kinder and better to one another. And I would wish for all of us to be just a little more playful.
How is the environment you live in reflected within you?
In every way. It has shaped me and continues to shape me — in how I see things, what I give importance to, how and what I respond to.
