About BiograView
BiograView, Perspectives from around the globe was initiated in 2019 and is the brainchild of Ingrid van Amsterdam, a strong advocate for diversity and culture equality in education and the workplace. Initially created to tell migrant stories in the hope to open people’s minds and help elevate peace and harmony within communities, BiograView became more elaborate, covering topics from heritage and lifestyle to the more ‘digestible’, and sometimes challenging, stories.

With an interest in the arts, culture, and humanity as a whole and a background in energy healing Ingrid always has the wellbeing of people and animals at the forefront of her mind. She hopes the stories in this book will inspire your curiosity and healthy conversations around the (dinner) table.
