Reykjavik Pride

Meet Eva Jóa, one of the organizers of Reykjavik Pride.

On June 28th, 1969 the Stonewall Riots kicked off a larger gay rights movement in the USA.

In 1970, the first gay pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago – today pride parades are taking place all around the world.

In 2018, I wanted to know who the people organizing today’s pride parades are, what the marches mean to them, and met wonderfully powerful, loving and kind people from places, which might not be the first ones that come to mind, when we think of queer love.

See all Faces of Pride.

Eva Jóa – REYKJAVIK PRIDE

What’s your name and age? My name is Eva Jóa and I am 31 years old.

Since when have you been involved with Reykjavík Pride? I’ve been involved in organizing the Reykjavík Pride Parade since 2010 and became head of security in 2011.

Why do you think Reykjavík Pride is important? I think Reykjavík Pride is important because the fight isn’t over. Socially we might be one of the most accepting countries, but our laws have us beaten.

What is one (or two) remarkable thing(s) that has/have happened at Reykjavík Pride? Páll Óskar is a famous gay singer and performer here in Iceland and every year he participates he goes all out. The last time he participated his team was way behind schedule for his float, the unicorn, to be ready so he sent out a Facebook alert asking people to help him so he could make it. About 40 strangers came together from all over and helped him, and he just made it in time. I found that remarkable.

What do you do when you are not organizing Reykjavík Pride? When I am not organizing Reykjavík Pride I am in school studying to become a teacher and working part-time at a nursing home.

What do you like to do in your free time? When I’m not studying or working I read, hang out with friends and family, catch up on my episodes and watch soccer. I’m a huge DC Comics, Marvel, Buffy, Angel, Harry Potter and Friends nerd, so any time I get to watch, read or talk about any of those I’m good.

Is there something you would like to say to the rest of the LGBT+ community? Just be yourselves, there’s no better way to live your life.

How Can We Be Soft?

How Can We Be Soft?

Dear Future Self, I just listened to this wonderful compilation, what a perfect way to start the day! "Stretch your mind far enough to soften your heart - stay grounded on both sides. This is tenacious tenderness and tender tenacity." Quote from the video. Tenderness,...

Do You Believe in God?

Do You Believe in God?

by | Jul 27, 2022 | , ,

I have to admit that I have my difficulties.

I grew up believing in God. Not that long ago, I opened my very first diary to a random page and read about how grateful I was, that I always had God to talk to.

Then my education made me believe that there was no God. I came to the conclusion that God, or any kind of belief, was used to explain things we couldn’t explain ourselves yet.

OUR WORLD NEEDS CHANGE.
Our world needs you.
In your full power.

Start exploring new ways to be in this world.

How can you benefit from coaching? Life is precious, and it's a limited period of time we have on this earth, in this form. We can use this time to grow, experience, love, serve and learn.

Each of us gets to choose in every moment how their life is going to continue, but often we don't make the choices we want, but the ones we think are expected from us. And that leads to chaos, unhappiness and confusion because we're not aligned with our inner knowing.

Once we realize that we have the power to choose and change our circumstances, life enters into a more natural flow.

But to get there, we have some unlearning to do. We need to uncover the subconscious believes that keep us stuck, we need to leave our comfort zones and stretch ourselves, and we have to form new habits that serve us better. And that's what I'm here for, I will help you to become joyfully interdependent.

If you would like to work with me as a coach, I can guide you to find new options that are more aligned with your inner knowing, and to learn to trust your inner voice, to clear blockages that have been holding you back and to open up space for what really matters in your life. The best way to work with me this year is by joining the I AM CREATOR School as a VIP member with individual coaching.

On this journey you can find clarity, confidence, love, freedom, connection and so much more.
