Fiercely courageous and exhilarating, Inventing BE depicts the life and time travel of Dutch designer, architect and Alinker walking bike founder, BE Alink. "Inventing BE is a story a person finding their oneness in community with others. Yet, it is a deeper story of how to (re)create ways of being with/as each other that can heal us, while dismantling social structures that seek to separate us from our authentic selves and from each other.

Produktbeschreibung
Fiercely courageous and exhilarating, Inventing BE depicts the life and time travel of Dutch designer, architect and Alinker walking bike founder, BE Alink. "Inventing BE is a story a person finding their oneness in community with others. Yet, it is a deeper story of how to (re)create ways of being with/as each other that can heal us, while dismantling social structures that seek to separate us from our authentic selves and from each other. Inventing BE shows us the joy in connecting and it is only through connection that we can be free." -Dr. Elizabeth (Dori) Tunstall, author of Decolonizing Design: a Cultural Justice Guidebook, and Lead Executive Officer, Dori Tunstall, Inc. Growing up in the Netherlands, BE had no language for what she felt about her being. How traditional society-including family members and teachers-viewed her did not align with how she experienced herself from a very early age. In the stirring trenches of international humanitarian work across continents, BE discovered herself in places torn apart by volatile crises like Afghanistan, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, positively affecting many others along the way. BE has seen sights and peeked beneath oppressive systems most wouldn't dare. In the process, she learned that to live a rich life, one had to confront the darkness of humanity to turn on the light of true freedom-in mind, body and spirit. Inventing BE is both memoir and manifesto dedicated to anyone who has ever had to conform or compromise their authentic self. You are never alone, and in the strangest, most far-flung places, you may be right at home.

Autorenporträt
BE is the inventor of the Alinker, a three-wheeled walking bike, a vehicle for social change and manifestation of her reverse-design way of approaching the world. She is a paradigm-shifter, edge-walker and developed the reverse-design life's practice. BE has gained appreciation of the power of community as a result of her work in Afghanistan, Kenya, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kosovo, and Indonesia. The common theme behind her work is connecting people by creating meaningful social contexts through which people can actively engage based on who they chose to be and are as humans. Community is built into every customer experience with The Alinker Ltd. where they treat mobility, food and community as medicine. The company is a certified B Corp and lives and breathes the values of equality and inclusion, which they converted into a revolutionary business proposition.
