Julia Maciocha || WARSAW PRIDE

Meet Julia Maciocha, one of the organizers of Warsaw 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.

Julia Maciocha – WARSAW PRIDE

What’s your name and age? Hi! My name is Julia Maciocha and I’m 24 yo.

Since when have you been involved with Parada Równości? I’m in Parada Równości/ Equality Parade Team since 4 years. At first I was a volunteer, then coordinator of volunteers, since two years I’m the president of the foundation which is organizing the march and party.

Why do you think Parada Równości is important? For me, it’s important because it’s gathering many minorities, not only LGBTQ people. We have 13 demands and more and more people are joining the parade because they feel this is their celebration too. It’s only one day in Warsaw when people can wear rainbow, hold hands and be protected by the police. It’s like a big breath that we have to hold for one year.

What is one (or two) remarkable thing(s) that has/have happened at Parada Równości? This year our founder Szymon Niemiec, who organized the first Equality Parades from 2001 on, proposed to his partner at the beginning of the march. It was very emotional moment!

What do you do when you are not organizing Parada Równości? As my work for Parada Równosci is as a volunteer I have to work to have something to eat 😉 I’m working for Feminoteka Foundation which is a NGO focusing on helping women who have experienced violence.
Also I was studying, two days before this year’s Parade I was defending my master thesis so this year was quite intense 🙂 But now I’m a master in the protection of wild animals.

What do you like to do in your free time? Free time? What’s that? Haha! I barely have time for my family, not to mention myself. If I’m visiting my Mom I’m spending time in the woods with my dog – it’s really calming me down. When I’m in Warsaw I’m trying to spend as much time as I can with my friends. My family and friends are always laughing that it’s easier to meet with the pope than with me 😉

Is there something you would like to say to the rest of the LGBT+ community? Please stop pushing other people back in the closets. We all spent too much time there already. Trans people, bi people, drag queens – we are all one big family. Embrace and be proud of your LGBTQ+ community, your LGBTQ+ history, your LGBTQ+ culture.

Not different, just love

How do you feel when it comes to dealing with our emotions, expectations and responsibilities, around coming out, living as a LGBTIQ+ person and when it comes to our families and love in general?

Do you know what exactly you need for a smooth new beginning? Or what you need to enjoy making new connections? Do you know why you are attracted to some people and not to others?

Or what the main questions are that your life evolves around?

Or what you need to balance your life and be healthy? Or to feel safe and respected?

The Wheel of Colours can answer this and more by using a unique way of translating your subconscious knowledge into information you can work with – easily and joyfully.

All you have to do is write down the numbers of 1 to 13 in order that feels right to you, take a picture of it and send it to me, after your purchase. (You’ll get the full instructions with your purchase, and you can also watch the video below, to learn more).

Your Wheel of Colour is as unique as you are.

I create every Wheel of Colours individually.

Your Wheel of Colours comes as a 64-page PDF that guides you through all areas of your life, explains your unique gifts and lessons, and tells you what you need to thrive.

These aren’t complicated things – what makes life complicated is not knowing what you need in these situations.

For example, some need to activate their trust to thrive in new situations, others their intuition, others their senses, others need to feel the support of others. Once you hear it, you will know what is true for you.

And then, you can easily use this information.

Clarity - Confidence - Connection

We will start to find out how we can change our bodies in kind and loving ways and explore all the ways it allows us to grow stronger, more flexible and be in this world with joy and confidence.

n this chapter (or 4-week course), we will move from thinking that our body limits us to recognizing that our body is a tool and a gift that allows us to experience life in whichever way we wish.
