Since I have seem to have this distorted perception that I think barely anyone reads my posts here on LinkedIn and everyone in my community She told me a story keeps proving me wrong, I will ride on the belief or idea that I, do too, have a voice. That I, do too, have something of value to express.
So, here I am expressing myself with my own voice representing nothing but myself.
Becoming the artist of both She told me a story and The House was never my intention or something that I actively pursued. RatHER, I was longing & aching for some real, raw & authentic connections. I was longing for a place & space in which I could grow, evolve & expand without being misunderstood or ridculed.
For many many years I never considered myself as an artist or worthy of this title. Being the creative persona & an artist of these two beautiful communities are merely ripple effects of my discoveries of my creative process & how to use it as an advantage both professionally & privately.
But two years ago, there was a HUGE SHIFT that took place on women’s international day took place on March 8th. & yesterday, on the same day but two years later, something else SHIFTED in me. I went to an event that I would normally not participate in but I dared myself to go there ALONE WITHout knowing anyone going there.
With this post, I would like to take the opportunity to thank those exquisite female peers that have made a great impact on me lately.
Anna Nambord & her business Bravery
For being honest, cool, witty, attentive with the coolest outfit when coming to Malmö universitet at the department of Economics.
Ulrika Hallengren
Ulrika Hallengren​​ CEO at Wihlborgs Fastigheter
Her words at Malmö Näringsgala had a profound effect in my view & my participation.
Nejra Celik who, together with two other brilliant minds & beautiful souls founded empowHER.

Because you are simply extraordinary & exceptional women for DOing no otHER thing but BEing oPEN, brave & resilient.

I would also suggest that we celebrate March 8th other female peers every other day of the year. That we intentionally make this effort on a daily basis everywhere we go to strangers as well to ourselves.
Last but not least, I would like to cheer STMAS for relentlessly believe in me & giving me space & enough courage to go about being a living, loving & lovable woman.
I am, with this post, reaching out to the entire community of STMAS. There are so many good things going on in Malmö & region around Malmö. I am offering you the chance to enter the labour market without being depleted or burnt out.
There are many events happening this spring & fall with empowHER. I urge and dare you to check it out. When & if you feel overwhelmed, I am also offering you a safe place & a safe haven to merely breath. If you want me to go togetHER, I’ll happily join.
BeCAUSE, I am simply nothing WITHout you & yet everything you seem me to accomplish in this lifetime.
