Ned Taufik

Born in Indonesia, Ned is a non-binary writer based in Germany. Due to her background, she has experienced many different cultures and therefore it has enriched her view of the world. Ned suffers from some mental illnesses, which don’t bring her down but instead keep her on fighting and writing, as words are her weapons to conquer the world. She believes that she will one day become a famous poet. Ocean Vuong is her idol when it comes to poetry. Poetry became her coping mechanism since she was young and still is her best coping mechanism until now, as she stated:
„Poetries are my mouth, ears and eyes. That when I’m unable to see, or hear, or speak, they’re still there to be the voice and tears I’m letting out in the dark.“
