Who we are
Welcome to The Higher Lens — a space rooted in curiosity, depth, and the clarity that comes from looking closer.
Created by Vlera Gara (a name that means “value” in Albanian), The Higher Lens began as a personal pursuit: a way to better understand the world beyond headlines and social media noise. What started as one person’s need to ask deeper questions about politics, society, food, and faith has grown into a platform for collective reflection — a place where culture, conversation, and awareness come together to spark meaningful thought.
“I created this space because I’ve always craved more than surface-level thinking. I wanted a place where we could pause and look at the world — and ourselves — with greater depth, honesty, and understanding. This blog is not about being right — it’s about being real.”
