Sok-Muy Vanessa Ly
The great metropolis Wuppertal is what I call my hometown. I am Chinese-Cambodian, born in 1993. I joined BAFNET in 2012, when I came to Berlin to study. Currently I am doing my Master’s in Media and Political Communications. Since 2013 I have been our treasurer and public relations manager. So if you have any questions concerning members of our network or our political agenda, hit me up! I have been in several film productions of dffb and the Goethe Institute. What I enjoy the most is to empower children and young adults through filmmaking. In spring 2015 I was elected as member of the advisory council of Junge Presse Berlin e.V. The things that I am interested in the most are postcolonial studies, playing the guitar and filmmaking, of course!
“I am part of BAFNET, because it provides a space for people of the Asian diaspora where we can be ourselves indeed!”
