We are celebrating the seventh year of proof that dreams can come true. We have been telling stories to touch the mind, the heart, and the spirit. They have been multicultural, intergenerational, educational, and inspirational, and you have told them!

This week, we are opening a new chapter from our Frankly Speaking Human Library Catalogue: This is Us Next Chapter. These stories shine a light on the courage, dedication, and imagination of people who lift others, guiding them from what was to what could be.

This week, we will meet Dana Saif, the visionary founder and director of the International Language Academy in Washington, DC. Dana openly shares the trials and triumphs of creating something both new and deeply needed. Her vision brought together a dynamic curriculum, expert faculty, a modern facility, and full accreditation. The ILA team knows that arriving in a new country can feel daunting, but they are ready to support your journey every step of the way. Whether you dream of studying at an American university or want to master English, ILA is where your next chapter begins.

Tune in, discover something new, and let yourself be inspired. If you enjoy the journey, share it with others and subscribe to more stories.
