Lizan’s work combines various crafts to express herself and practice her profound interest in social justice and human rights. Underpinned by a firm belief in (human) connection, cross-cultural empathy and listening.

As a freelance journalist (Dutch and English) she has written for — among others — Foreign Policy, CBC, De Correspondent and VICE. You can access her work under “publications”.

On 17 June, she released her single “Human Race” (on Spotify here) together with Mpanzu Bamenga - an anthem for hope and social change.

Lizan teaches courses at the University of Amsterdam’s PPLE college (Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics).
