my story

A Chilean writer once told me that freedom is the possibility to find the right words: I believed him.

Since then, I have dedicated my life to finding the right words, exploring silence, and learning about narratives to change the world. I have always been interested in social justice issues and feminism, worked in international development and human rights campaigning for many years until I turned full time to journalism, creative writing and editing.

In the last fifteen years, I have been researching and working on gender, feminism and social justice- as an activist, journalist, writer and editor. My words are in The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Atmos Magazine, World Of Topia, The Lissome, The Rebis and many more. I have facilitated workshops on feminism, art, and social justice in collaboration with experienced facilitators in Spain, Germany, and online, working with organizations like the United Nations, Recrear, Women 2020 and more. Between 2019 and 2021 I co-founded Fem Dialeg in Barcelona, a project which brought people together to unpack complex topics through a feminist lens. We did 12 successful workshops which were then halted by the pandemic.

I weave poetic antidotes to systemic issues and highlight the power of creativity, spirituality and art in our society. Basically, remedies for modern life from narrative threads I find in nature, art, and spirituality. Poetic antidotes are what reconnect us to our body and are therefore direct defiance of capitalist and patriarchal principles. This is where my work is rooted now, I am sure it will evolve. You can join the community I am creating on substack to explore the concept of poetic antidotes together and form new narratives here.

My essays are seeds that can be watered into other forms. So far they have evolved into: photographs, debates, exhibitions, art performances, community dialogues, sensorial experiences and workshops.

I am always open to conversations, dialogue and exchange so if you think that my skills, journey, and experience could be for you, let’s exchange!
