Re-birthing.
In the past 3 years, I have been deep into personal anti-racism work.
As a child of the 1st Generation of “Guest Workers” in Denmark, doing anti-racism work has brought up a lot of memories from my upbringing. Experiences from my corporate career, colleagues, the education systems, the employment systems, teachers, fellow students, psychologists, the wellness & health industries, friends, and intimate relationships.
My art project from 2022 female prayers - The Sacred & The Secular was about how the hidden structures and systems around us are forming our worldview and world sense, as well as our intimate relationships. Our relationships with our Self and our loved ones.
Now I am writing a book. It’s called “House Of Greed“. It is about my upbringing. The writing process is not linear. It’s messy - and I write as much as my nervous system allows me to share the stories on the blank page.
What I will share here will be anecdotal experiences of Everyday Racism from my own life. Short and brief. I don’t have any answers, but a lot of questions.
I am looking for a community that is not afraid to do anti-racism work, as well as speak and discuss the truth about the oppressive structures, systems, and cultures that we are all swimming in.
If you support me, I am deeply grateful.
If you don’t have the means, I am grateful for your presence too.
Thank you for being here.
Have courage,
Nevin
