Arcy Rosmery

What makes Arcy Rosmery a Hyperdiverse* speaker?

She is a Swiss-based Afro-caribbean, hyperdiverse storyteller whose work crosses beyond the traditional definition of intersectionalities such as race, class, and gender. With her now happy adult lenses, she speaks about growing up in the Caribbean of the 90’s as a too-tall for her age, afro-light-skinned child.

*Arcy uses the term hyperdiversity as a vessel to contain the multiverse of challenges that go beyond traditional intersectionality.

At 11 years old, little Rosmery lost her family to femicide; her 46yrs older-darker-skin* father burned her 33yrsold-very-light-skin* pregnant mother alive. Frozing her heart in survival mode. This episode came with child-adulting, economic fragility, physical vulnerability, and emotional starvation.

*Pigmentocracy is a big part of Caribbean society.

Got through a lonely childhood; arriving to young adulthood.

In her 20s, activism, the right to rage, invisible illness, educational barriers, and a saving grace within sisterhood: Afro-lesbian feminism that revitalized her like a spearmint balsam.

Her 30s came with internal and external geopolitical challenges; as a safety ex-pat in Europe, as a colored-queer woman, paralizing fear, re-facing the loneliness of childhood, asexuality, broken relations, and abrupt mental breakthroughs.

Despite all that, she bravely persisted in cultivating an expansive voice as a storyteller, speaker, and femicide prevention ambassador to protect herself and others. Collaborating and facilitating workshops on femicide prevention, sisterhood building, and diversity in all possible spaces, from women in political parties, school teachers, non-profits, businesses, grassroots groups, queer-collectives, public servants, or picketing events. See her work here.

Luckily for Arcy Rosmery public speaking is a well-being practice to open her soul-voice and relate with people using heartwarming, funny stories.

Now in her 40s, there is one intention that prevails every day; It is to birth the joy of being into reality and keep on moving from fear to love.

Serving from a place of joy: Telling human stories that expand our love and views of each other.

If a hyperdiverse violence-resilient champion can invite us to laugh about the uncomfortable and adorable parts of existence like childhood, migration, queerness, loneliness, growing up without running water or electricity, aging-body changes, sexual shifting, invisible illness, code-switching, dressing fancy for fear and more, maybe means that we can sit back and relax, because the humble ever-mutating human tradition of telling stories is alive and well.

Arcy Rosmery’s path now is allowing togetherness, consciousness, pleasure, sweetness, self-parenting, veganism, spirituality, and gratitude to be part of her view to redefine her past-present-future from a place of peace and acceptance.

Can you believe she is even exploring stand-up comedy the more peals of laughter the better! Happiness seems to be an important truth to share now.

Appreciate the attention; Here are simple ways to spread the word:
