Referent*in #66 - Helen Omari West https://in-vision.org/en/blog/referentin-66-helen-omari-west blog/referentin-66-helen-omari-west Fri, 10 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0200 This is what Helen says about Helen:

I work primarily as a professional dancer and dance teacher. However, I would rather see my life's work in helping other people in their current life situation and to accompany and support them in your development mentally and physically. I am currently furthering my education in the medical and psychological fields, among others, and would like to integrate this 100% into my work later on. In my lessons I can pass on my knowledge and experiences super.

Helen brings this experience with her:

Due to my own cultural background, I was inevitably confronted with discrimination and racism in every facet since my childhood. So it is - especially today as a grown person - my main focus to stand up for people with similar experiences and also to work preventively (especially with children and young people). So I am active in the BlackLivesMatter movement or get involved in dance projects like: the Emotions-Project on this topic.

Referent*in #57 - Chepita https://in-vision.org/en/blog/referentin-57-chepita blog/referentin-57-chepita Wed, 08 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0200 This is what Chepita says about herself:

My name is Chepita (she/they) and I am part of the Casa Kuà collective. I come from a lineage of curanderas (healers) who have used their knowledge for the benefit of their community. My goal is to use it as a tool for our liberation.

This is where Chepita's expertise lies:

The practice of caring, especially through food, has been very important in my journey. I believe that what we eat and the processes that occur in relation to food can make us healthy. For me, it is important to recover this knowledge that has been preserved and passed down through generations despite all efforts to eliminate it. That is why I work with plants, because they are the living carriers of ancestral knowledge, memories, experiences and messages.

As a group of refugees, we also have a deep mental connection and understanding with each other, we bond over our trauma, since we have similar background.
Although most of us lost their families, but we still have each other to support.
And thanks to many places that support us and validate us, we've grown and come so far.

Queerberg consists of: Prince Emrah (he,she), Odiseo (he, she, they), Keili Divõn (he,she), Patricia ( She), Suryani (she), Akynos(she)
