While securing my visa for the move to Poland, I had the chance to speak in Chicago with Wojciech Dorula and Monika Sak about family roots, Polish-American heritage, and the deeper reasons behind my decision to visit Poland and research heritage.
The conversation centered on ancestry, memory, and the continuing life of Polish tradition in the United States, especially within Góral and broader Polish-American circles. It also gave me a chance to speak publicly about the path that was beginning to take shape: moving to Poland, studying the language more seriously, and trying to build something lasting out of family history and cultural work.
I am grateful to Wojciech Dorula for the invitation and for the work he does through Radio Na Góralską Nutę 1490 AM Chicago, which remains a strong voice for Góral Polonia and tradition. I am also grateful to Monika Sak for the conversation. Looking back, this interview now feels like an early marker of the transition: one more step between inherited memory and lived commitment.
