What inspires you?

I’m inspire by words; speeches, books, media, communication…The language is a important part of human nature and we use it in so different ways, words create so wonderful things even if they can also be hard, mean and create problems (When there’s incomprehension). They help us to enter in contact with others to share…

Tell us about an issue that matters to you and how you became aware and involved.

Anorexia and depression are the expression of the high pressure of our society on people. Where performance is shown as the only way, they affected a growing number of people each year. I became aware when I lived them when I turned eighteen; finally I achieved to liberate my mind of those disorders. I want to become involved using words to share my experiences and conception of happiness (and the way to reach it). There’s the organisation ANEB for the anorexia where I went to groups where victims can discuss of their reality and be support by others who knows what it is to live this destroying research of control.

Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.

According to me, a leader is someone who has or had an impact (positive, for the great) on people. His realisations are remembered even after his death, because people had recognized in him someone important and had accepted to be lead by his ideas. He tries to change what he considers wrong and persuade people to take over when he can’t leads anymore.

Do you think TakingITGlobal can help you achieve some of your goals? Have we already? Please tell us how.

Yes I think TIG can help me to achieve my goals. I’m the kind of girl who would use literacy to share her ideas to change the world, to ease the souls of her readers. Our era where technologies are taking an expanding place in our society, sharing my texts on your site could give me a public for my words.
