-- MY GUEST --
Today I speak with Natalia Sierra Poveda. Born in Colombia, she is an artist, activist, filmmaker & social entrepreneur. In 2016,her life took a dramatic turn. Because of her family’s human rights legal support to displaced families in Colombia, they were threatened by death. And had to flee Colombia. After 4 years of intense experience as asylum seekers in Switzerland, she & her family finally got recognized as political refugees this Nov. She is currently doing her Master's degree in Art & Society at the Zurich University of the Arts and is the founder of ‘Power to the People’, a social enterprise organizing city walks led by refugees. As artist Art Basel commissioned her art work “MY LAST TREASURE” about ‘the strength of women forced to flee’ exhibited in Basel & Geneva. Natalia is dedicated to making systemic changes in society and bringing justice towards marginalized people and to inspire people to live and fulfill their god-given destiny!!
