Since 7 years you can hire me as a Public Speaker. First, I worked two years from the agency Zij Spreekt!, Amsterdam.
I am bilingual in English and in Dutch. I worked on a PhD in Intercultural Genderstudies and Comparative Religions focussed matrilineality and healing rituals in a migrant society between West Africa Ghana and The Hague. Lecturing at the University of Leiden, I did two years in African oral Religions and in Anthropology of Religions.
I have been working without license with children and teenagers, adolescents for 25 years now, at request of municipalities, parents and schools. As well as a football and hockey youth trainer and coach, violinteacher, and language teacher and international specialist in learning and high sensitivity, visual thinking and democratic education.
Characteristic of my lectures is that I am a free speaker, vrijspreker. I can be quite direct as Dutch tend to speak and from the heart. So sometimes unpolished and deconstructed sacred politics that make people feel safe and comfortable. If you want to put a box around it.
