Gini McGrail

This one is personal. Here my mum, Gini, shares her journey of becoming- her joys and sorrows, her inspiration and motivation, things that still empower and ignite me today. From travelling the world as a baby, cared for by local maids in Papua New Guinea and Australia, to spending seven weeks at sea on the great ship that carried her between continents- sometimes more than once. From a short chapter in England to finally landing in Copenhagen, where she fought to create a foundation rooted in her own heart.

Born into the rigid limitations placed on women in the 1950s, and shaped by the love, freedom and liberation of the 1960s, Gini has always lived from her heart. She is not just my mother- she is an icon.


Gini writes for local newspaper Christianshavneren in Copenhagen.

Jacopo

Hi, I’m Jacopo, an Italian guy from Rome (currently living in London) exploring and loving life daily. After being a dancer for 15 years working in tv, international stages and cruise ships, I decided to move to London 8 years ago and change my life completely. I worked in Soho House, a members club, as a receptionist first and as a gym manager after, learning new skills and meeting the most interesting people. I now decided to change my life again, I quit my job and decided to come back on my artistic journey or wherever the universe wants me to be. What’s next is only the beginning and I’m bloody excited for it. Trust the process in life and love yourself first, and remember, let your volcano erupts and your energy explode!
