Keep your friends close, and your friends closer, as they don’t say. We followed that principle anyway because having Benjamin DeVos around is something pleasant.
Before welcoming here Kevin Jackson again for his Why I Write, we are very pleased to share with you our interview of the writer of Human Fish, one of our major 2020 book discoveries (read our review here) Here’s the review, in case you’d like to see.
Aurélie Lemaire started off as a cultural mediator in the arts industry. Since her childhood, she’s been maintaining a relationship with words that became crucial and more and more vivid as years went by. Words seems to be following her. Or… Would she be chasing them all around the world for her travel blog 3raisonspour?
She currently lives happily in the Lille area (France) and works as a journalist.
Why I Write, by Aurélie Lemaire (find her previous apparition on Slow Culture here).
Caroline Zakka has an uplifting love for words, in tune with her life. Copywriter for the advertising agency Kayak Communication, her bold spirit enables her to see beyond what life can give. Between nostalgia and sweet legacies, writing has many purposes for her. We can’t wait to share them with you.
Marion or Chloé, whichever name you want to call her, is a 25 years old French brand content consultant.
In love with words, both spoken and written, she spends a lot of time over-analyzing them. She hates small talk and would rather not debate about feminism before midday – she likes to take her time to wake up. She loves watching series and reading dystopian novels, preferably with a cat and preferably in her bed. She dislikes speaking about herself at the 3rd person but does so, occasionally.
Freelancer, all-time traveler and independence lover, she stands against default choices of any kind.
Hi everyone, I am Marc Louis-Boyard, the founder of Slow Culture. I am also copywriter, project manager and digital consultant at Kayak Communication, a global advertising agency based at Euratechnologies in Lille, France. Between Berlin, Paris and Budapest, my happy-go-lucky spirit was enriched by both creative encounters and a solitary appetite for art in all its forms. Find me on LinkedIn and Instagram.
Elias Attea was born under New York New Moon on one of the coldest times of Buffalo’s history, or so the legend goes. While a yankee in heart, Attea crawled six-hundred miles as a baby to arrive and endure Tennessee’s hot, humid southern sunshine. While proud to be a Tennessee kid, Attea now resides in a quiet farm house in Western New York, shoveling snow, shit, and soil whist working on his practice as a spiritualist and writer (and paying the bills, somehow).
