Hi! I'm Yvette
I grew up living in the spaces between cultures, on the edges, holding opposites.
Born during Apartheid to white South African parents, my father worked as a diplomat for the government, while my mother actively critiqued it.
Growing up between cultures straddling divergent ideologies, I quickly learned that rules for “right and wrong” behavior depended on whose perspective you took and which culture you inhabited.
This began my deeper search for universal principles that transcend and include diversity and the rich variety of human expression on our planet.
I’ve been searching for what’s at the essence of being human (and what it takes for us to live in peace together without losing our individuality) for as long as I can remember.
