LIVING WITH A DEMENTIA DIAGNOSIS

Welcome back to WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA.

In 2023, ATLANTIC FELLOWS (https://www.atlanticfellows.org/) joined people living with dementia, practitioners, researchers and caregivers in SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain, for a walk along the Camino followed by a symposium.  This was a conference with a difference.  Over the course of a week, participants walked and talked together to better understand each other’s experiences so that collectively they could create change.  You can hear the story of that week in the opening podcasts in this series.

In the following podcasts, we catch up with conversations from that week between Atlantic Fellows and some of the participants.  

We begin with PROFESSOR BRIAN LAWLOR (https://www.gbhi.org/profiles/brian-lawlor) from the GLOBAL BRAIN HEALTH INSTITUTE (https://www.gbhi.org/) in conversation with LAURIE WATERS from the US and BERRIE HOLTZHAUSEN from Namibia, both of whom live with dementia.

Episode 267 - We Are So Back, And Will Remain So Until Further Notice

Berlin-based writer, curator, and activist Federico Hewson has spent decades examining the intricate relationship between human beings and flowers and the symbolic interpretations of flowers. His latest initiative further explores that connection by pairing flowers with artistic renderings of queer activists around the world who were tragically murdered for their activism. Hewson shares his personal motivations, shedding light on the emotional resonance and historical importance driving his exploration of the intersection between flowers and queer activism. He also talks about Berlin’s thriving queer art scene and his ongoing efforts to commemorate, honor, and showcase the stories of diverse queer activists (Interviewed by Jason Jenn).

And in NewsWrap: a lawsuit challenging Ghana’s ban on same-gender sex is dismissed by the Supreme Court, the government of Namibia is appealing a High Court decision that struck down laws criminalizing same-gender sex, Christopher Street Day Parade in Cologne, Germany is hailed as the largest parade in the city’s history, the “queer panic defense” comes off the legal table in Michigan, LGBTQ ally U.S. President Joe Biden passes the Democratic Party torch to LGBTQ ally Vice President Kamala Harris, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by John Dyer V and Kalyn Hardman (produced by Brian DeShazor with technical assistance by Daniel Huecias).

Lena Deon, whose real name is Helena Gideon, was born and raised in Okahandja. She is a versatile Namibian artist gaining recognition for her unique blend of soft amapiano and heartfelt Electronic Dance Music (EDM). While balancing a career as a civil engineer, Lena’s music reflects the complexity of her experiences. Her latest project, My, Myself and I, embodies her identity as an artist ("Me"), an engineer ("Myself"), and a grounded individual ("I"), delivering a fusion of soft yano beats with worshipful undertones.

She first garnered attention with her debut single, "Control Me," a collaboration with renowned producer DJ Kboz. Her second single, a collaboration with LAS titled "Marry Me" featuring Kledo Blaq, continued to build her reputation. Lena’s debut album showcases the work of top producers like TheFutureIsGiggz, DJ Flow, Swai, and Bouyant, each contributing to a lush soundscape that both pleases the ear and uplifts the soul. The album was entirely produced in- house at Blaqhouse Collections Entertainment in Oshakati, and mixed and mastered by Zunde Recording Studio Zimbabwe.

Signed to Blaqhouse Collections Management, Lena Deon captivates audiences with her distinct sound and undeniable authenticity, firmly establishing her presence in the music industry. Her passion and dedication to her craft promise listeners a memorable and soulful experience with every track.
