The Project That Captivated the World!
In February 2021, I offered Screech at the Beach every morning for three weeks. What began as a local act of vocal release turned into a global movement. This project received international attention as a form of collective expression, emotional release, and healing.
Read the full story I wrote about it for the Dutch magazine Hoe vrouwen denken.
