Yesim Candan is a woman who builds bridges between worlds. Born in Rotterdam, raised with Turkish roots and shaped by the top of the Dutch business world, she knows better than anyone what it feels like to move between different cultures. Her life story is one of daring, perseverance and constantly reinventing language and perspective. From the term bicultural to the red heels on Dam Square: each time, Candan looks for ways to make visible what often remains invisible.
From her student days at Nyenrode Business University to her first book Holland Wake Up! and the national contest Inspiration for Integration. She tells how she developed into a writer, columnist and researcher, and how her mission to make diversity and emancipation negotiable gave her work ever new direction.
As of now, Yesim Candan can be booked through Showbird starting at €1,500,
Yesim charges a special rate for schools and foundations.
With personal stories, probing columns and social actions, Candan shows how she put themes such as integration, intimate terror and femicide on the map. Her story is confrontational and hopeful: it shows how language and symbols can open new doors, and how one voice can make a difference in the public
debate.
Reviews
, Sanne Poot, Hoofd Programma Debatpodium Arminius
Yesim Candan recited a column during the sold-out program "What it takes to fight femicide" at Arminius Debate Stage. Full of conviction, she knows how to address the audience and point out the red flags that can indicate behavior that could potentially lead to murder by a (former) partner. In recent years she has gained a lot of knowledge on the subject and knows how to make it clear to a diverse audience. Warmly recommended.
, Emma
During the dialogue session on Femicide organized by Saaam, Yesim Candan played the role of moderator in a powerful and engaging way. With her careful guidance, sharp questions and warm approach, she created a safe space for an open and respectful dialogue. Her moderation gave depth to the conversation and visibly contributed to the impact and meaning of the meeting.
