Public Speaking - Museum Nord 🎤

I have spoken several times, at the behalf of Museum Nord,

Both Alone and along with Thea Blokhus, as a helpful poster-child / children / asset for showcasing their local community project for supporting local teens struggling with exclusion & other issues, I served as a success story for them and myself, and I hope I inspired some other people along the road
