Interview with Sonya Dias

“A colourful, self-confident and socially committed woman who looks at the world with an open mind. Born and raised in Rotterdam with roots in Cabo Verde.”

Sonya Dias

For years, Sonya Dias has been active at cultural events as a host, presenter, moderator and/or as an organizer. She also takes great pleasure in keeping alive the Cape Verdian tradition of storytelling in Rotterdam.

For our Dutch subproject ‘Night narratives of migration in the Netherlands’, the team of Leiden University interviewed Sonya. In this video we have collected some highlights of the interview.
