Birds of paradise: that’s what Brenda calls young people like her child. And driven by the experiences she has, she creates places where these young people have space to spread their wings safely. Because feeling safe is not self-evident for young people for whom the traditional gender identity does not fit. At NH she tells how her plans came about.
Brenda is a Warrior: an inspiring North Hollander, who, driven by her own experience, makes a positive contribution to society. NH News gives people like Brenda a platform.
Two colored wings on the pedestal next to her symbolize the bird of paradise; as a reference to people who give color to society. It is also the name of the pop-up campsite that was such a success last summer. The campsite will be back next summer and Brenda is looking forward to more times of the year to bring LGBTI young people together.
