The past that built me up - where I come from -

my roots.

HEY, MY NAME IS AMINA.

My African roots are Songhai. My European roots are German and French. I was born in a typical Malian family and through an adoption I grew up first in Togo and later in Germany. In my early childhood I became seriously ill and my legs became paralyzed. Soon my life consisted of violence and oppression for more than sixteen years. I thought I would not survive it, constantly this physical and mental violence!

I didn't know what I deserved that for and when I was strong enough, I was able to escape. After that I felt completely alone and lonely, which I was. I felt no sense for my life anymore. Every single day was a torture for me and my body ached constantly, my soul suffered a lot from it. I wanted to find out what my true core would be if I could manage to leave this difficult past behind me? Life must have a meaning, right? 

But there was always a hope inside me...

...that life must be much more than that. This terrible long journey and adventure gave me a strong and independent character. In my life it is not the people who are close to me who have helped me to grow, but the people I have met have shaped me positively and let me grow in a healthy way. It is a great gift for me to experience this unconditional love. Without those special people I would not have become what I am now. 

SOMEHOW WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.

The present that belongs to me - what I am now - why am I going this way?

I started crawling as a child, then I walked on my legs for a while, then I went back on all fours and was locked in a corset braces. Now I have four wheels and already stand on both legs.

My life is in constant development. I am grateful that a few years ago I started to listen to my intuition to change my life. It was of course not easy, because I had to put down many negative beliefs towards myself in order to embark on this journey. The goal to give meaning to my life has definitely become my drive!

It is a difficult and at the same time an easy job, I hab to find my own path in life.

I HAVE TWO CHALLENGES...

...the first is to let go of the traumas of the past, the second is to discover my true core. That body, mind and soul are connected with each other was not conscious to me for a long time! Through my intensive work I discovered this interplay. Speaking every time I let go of something from my past by implying a positive thought, it automatically affected my legs. Through this work my own roots begin to grow.

I also discovered adaptive surfing a few years ago. It was a real revelation. I understood even more that I can consciously shape my life with my own will and thought to get out of mental restrictions.

and full of fire, and not even she could hold herself back because

her passion burned brighter than her fears."
