My name is Eda Sofía, and I am a Mexican-Italian-Costarican very passionate social reform advocate. I currently live, work and mother in the gorgeous weather-ever-changing Naarm (also known as Melbourne) in Boon Wurrung Country. I am versatile and highly energetic, with a deep passion for human rights and the arts.
My extensive background in communications, particularly within the creative, humanitarian, diversity, and inclusion sectors, has given me the opportunity to lead and manage diverse teams. I undergone extensive research & training in the field of gender equality and my commitment to this field is palpable and ever-present. I am currently undergoing work to submitt a PhD proposal hoping to start my research early 2025.
Beyond my professional life (which so often intertwines with my personal one, as it does for almost anyone else working in this field), I am a writer*, communicator, ice-cream connoisseur, curiosity follower, experience seeker, graphic designer, dancing mother, daughter and sister.
I am currently working on my fourth autofictional novel, and contributing original articles to some printed and online magazines.
* Most of my personal writing (which you will find here) is in Spanish, so feel free to translate knowing that a big part of it may get lost; especially the rhythm. I am constantly typing away trying to amend by having a more language-balanced sample of my thoughts and experiences.
Acknowledgement of Country
I pay my respects to the Traditional Owners of the land and waterways, as well as their elders, past, and present. I acknowledge that the land in which I now live, grow, dance, and mother, always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
I extend this respect to all Indigenous peoples of this continent and world, recognising their cultures as the oldest continuous living cultures in human history. I recognise the deep and enduring spiritual connections and relationship Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have with community, as well as the lands, oceans, waterways, air, and sky. I recognise that violence and suffering are an inextricable part of this world’s colonial past and – whether its colonial violence or not – that past still impacts to this day.
