Why Zurich Pride is the perfect successor of the Frauen*streik

Yesterday, thousands of women in Switzerland took to the streets to demonstrate for equal rights. Here, I don’t want to repeat their arguments, because they have already articulated them better than I ever could. Instead, I wanted to hit pause and think about a few key moments in my life that make me wholeheartedly support the cause all these people yesterday went to the streets for. Injustice.   After my first year at university, I applied for an exchange program in India. The program connected students to NGOs that offer internships. A few months later I was on my way to a small town in rural India together with a fellow student. This is now almost 10 years ago but I will not forget how uncomfortable I felt about the role I was being put in just because of my race and gender. People seemed to naturally expect that I was an expert on the work the NGO did, only because of who I represent. While they wanted my “expert” opinion on a business plan for a community-managed garment

Last year I went through a phase of change in my career. After realizing that my work at a big consultancy firm was not fulfilling to me and made me feel unhappy, I knew something had to change. To plan my next steps, I went to a career counselor and subsequently decided to quit my job. At the end of 2018, I left my job without yet knowing what my next step would be. Career counseling did not exactly tell me what to do next, but it taught me a few important lessons about myself. Firstly, I wanted to become more conscious of how I was spending my time. Secondly, I wanted to be agile in adjusting my life and make sure I would spend my time in a meaningful way. To achieve this, I came up with a tool I call the "Monthly letter to myself." What it is and does At the start of each month, I write a letter to my future self that I subsequently read and answer at the end of the month. What these letters allow me to do is: To set tangible goals that I want to achieve in th

An Sonntagen, da schweige ich

Ich verändere gerne Dinge an mir und an meiner Umwelt. Zum Beispiel lag es oft an mir, dass wir die Möbel in unserem Haus umstellen mussten, weil ich, zusammen mit meiner Mutter, eine neue Idee hatte, wie wir die Zimmer am besten einrichten. Diesen Wunsch nach Veränderung und Experimentieren habe ich in den letzten Jahren bewusst kultiviert, um Gewohnheiten zu durchbrechen, Wahrheiten zu hinterfragen, und meine Neugierde zu befriedigen. Mal habe ich eine Zeit lang vegan gelebt, mal hab ich mich dazu entschieden, jeden Tag einen anderen Weg zu gehen, um meine Nachbarschaft in der Millionenstadt São Paolo kennenzulernen. Durch diese Experimente habe ich mich selber besser kennengelernt, Neues entdeckt, meinen Horizont erweitert. Nach zwei internetfreien Wochen und einer zufälligen Lektüre, kam die Idee, an einem Tag in der Woche zu schweigen. Anstatt am Konzert der Informationsflut mitzumachen, mal Zeit haben zum Reflektieren. Meine Stimme verstummen lassen, damit ich andere bes
