Invited to " Social Dilemma " with Eno Popin on Top Albania Radio, Lori Hoxha spoke, among other things, about creating an identity of hers, which does not necessarily refer to the surname.
Lori, who also presented her collaboration with the clothing brand Cohl's, also focused on the benefits and difficulties of being "Dritan Hoxha's daughter".
Did you find the balance Lori?
"No, I still have not found the balance. This has been one of my biggest difficulties in recent years and sometimes I was embarrassed to say it, but it is a great privilege. Let's start here: I'm very lucky. The surname I have, the legacy it carries, that is to say it is all a very great pride for me, but it is also a very great pressure. It sounds like a joke, but I always wanted to be just as proud of her last name and whose daughter I am, I just want to get away from her and be me. I know I feel like Lori now. They no longer call me 'Tan's girl', 'Top owner'. I am Lori, I have had my experiences. But still I keep that [name] behind me, because I have nowhere to take it. ”
Do you think it would be harder if he did not have the opportunities he has?
"Of course. In fact, I was having this conversation with someone today and I was telling him that there have been many benefits to my life, which I do not realize are benefits until I have to put myself in a position where I do not have those benefits. I think the benefits do not help so much in personal growth, help to have an easier life, but in your emotional and personal state, just make it harder. You learn that things are so easy and when something becomes difficult, you have difficulties. ”
When does its balance break?
"When you have to be yourself or when you are going to do something that you think you should do, but in the long run it hurts the business. I started Instagram and my public life very early and thought I could do whatever I wanted and it was not a problem. I thought this would not affect my family, but it later became a circus. My life got involved in the family business. "We talked in the media about issues that had nothing to do with my life."
Why did he choose to be public?
“[Fëmijët e familjeve të njohura që kanë zgjedhur të mos jenë publikë] ndoshta mirë bëjnë. Unë këtë jetë bëj, se e ndaj me publikun ose jo, kjo është zgjedhje personale. Por në një moment kur bizneset e familjes sime janë në vëmendje të publikut, ne dëmtohemi sepse unë jam kaq publike. Në momente kur është dashur të bëhet keq mediatikisht, kanë patur një fytyrë për t’i dhënë. Kur duhej të sulmohej ose kritikohej administrimi i bizneseve, unë kisha një fytyrë, fëmijët e Vjollcës kishin një fytyrë. Kjo ka qenë situata kur unë jam larguar nga rrjetet sociale. Në sipërfaqe mund të dukej se isha larguar për arsye të vogla. Në disa raste u përfol se u largova për një ndërhyrje në fytyrë, ndërkohë që unë largohesha për arsye komplet madhore që ishin më thelbësore se thjesht një acid hialuronik te buzët.”
Did he want to escape public attention? Do you feel guilty?
"We often have this conversation, especially with our sisters and mom. [But there is a moment when I change my mind] because I have a clean business, my family does its job and after all I am living my life without affecting anyone badly. I do not claim to be a good example, but I do not think I am a bad example either. I have this life, this life I do. My businesses have nothing to do with my personal life. They would be like that even if I were not on Instagram. "
