Q and A with Lychee from Brussels, Belgium
“…whenever you think a story has ended, there is always a new beginning coming...”
Q: Tell us about yourself. What are you passionate about?
A: I’m passionate about well-being, in-bodiment, good music, shaking that booty, and eating healthy!
Açaï in particular is amazing!

Q: What were your younger years like?
A: Growing up in a separated household, I mostly looked up to my older brother, who has a beautiful mix of both masculine leadership and feminine radiance. He’s now married with two beautiful children and co-creating therapy with his wife, as they are both psychologists.
As a white female born in Brussels, I don’t think I was always aware of some of the luxury my parents gave me, until later in life.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: I think one thing that I’ve learned is that whenever you think a story has ended, there is always a new beginning coming; it’s really just a matter of perspective. Sounds cliché? That’s because it is!
I also hid away a lot as a kid, could easily play, doodle, read, or listen to music and stories for hours on repetition. Not that those qualities are completely gone; but as an adult, I do value the sense of togetherness and sharing time a bit more.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: Feminism means many a thing, but to me, it represents freedom where in other ways softness, vulnerability, and adaptability have been mistaken for weakness and/or prone to only one gender.
As the copy dude in friends would say: we are the same, yet we are not. It’s in those different flavors that we can marinate life and in-joy ourselves.
All those different experiences and make-up is not what defines us, but it does allow for certain processes and patterns affecting our decisions. I think (self) respect has something to do with it too. And love. A LOT of self-love.
