(Pronunciation: ERR-MEAN-AH VEL-JA-CICH — she/her)

I’m Ermina Veljačić, a writer, improviser, and performer exploring the nuances of identity and culture. As a Bosnian-born refugee and genocide survivor who was raised on Chicago’s south side, my life experience has given me a unique perspective.

At the core of all I do, I care about creating meaningful connections and using my work (and existence) to spark positive change.
