I am an accomplished author with several works of fiction, non-fiction, and an opera libretto to my name—plus, uniquely, a piece of text for toilet paper. As a professional in societal advocacy, I currently work as a lobbyist for culture and the arts, where my mission is to highlight the value art brings to individuals and society at large. I’m a columnist for Helsingin Sanomat. My extraordinary youth was spent in the confines of meeting rooms. I was a member of parliament in my twenties. I also consider myself as an activist. My latest book is going to be published in January 2025, and it’s about concept of Brave Space.
