 Who am I !
First of all a human being- existing out of a lot of diverce components- mother, grandmother, woman, daughter, sister, friend, lover, poet, journalist, performer.
Politically a left wing liberal with outspoken convictions, which I don't mind to express in the open.
A socially committed pacifist and activist who, as an intellectual has no problems with sticking out her neck and take to the streets to protest whenever necessary.
Citizen of the World who travels to learn, meaning she can immmerse into different cultures with an open mind, a warm heart and a lot of respect.
Highest value: honesty, towards yourself and the others.
Lowest value: hypocrisy and arrogant chauvinism.
Highest striving: Peace, social equality & justice, tolerance
Never ever to accept: fascism, racism and homophobia.
