Elena Ledda is a freelance journalist with a Foreign Languages (Spanish and Chinese) University Degree who’s been living for five years in Barcelona, where she moved to study a Master Degree in Journalism at BCNY (collaboration between Universitat de Barcelona and Columbia University, NYC) and is now collaborating with several  newsagencies, newspapers and magazines writing in English, Spanish, Castellano and Català. She combines her job as a journalist with acting, directing and writing plays for forums of Theatre of the Oppressed in middle and high schools in Catalunya. She is a member of the International Network of Journalists “with gender view” (Red Internacional de Periodistas con Visión de Género).

Why did I start this blog? Because every day I find out that in spite of all the discrimination there are tons of excellent women doing excellent things in every corner of this world.  But I also see that in most cases they are not given visibility (which is indeed a precise way of discriminating) nor are gender issues treated from inclusive, breaking perspectives as much as it is needed. So I’ve decided to use the only weapon I conceive to do my part in order to turn silence into -I hope-  an inspiring sound.
