Lou
Who:
Lou Mari, 176 cm / 5’9.5″, Dutch, born September 4th.
We Asked:
— What are three interesting facts about you?
– I am the only redhead in my family (well, besides my dog Charlie, an old Irish terrier).
– I have a major in Neuroscience and worked on many cool projects, for example with Brain-Computer Interfaces (so Sci-Fi, love it).
– I love to dance. I used to do ballet, jazz ballet, street dance, and ballroom dancing. After a break, I now would like to learn bachata, which is a very sensual and social dance from the Dominican Republic.
– BONUS: I lived in England for 3 years when I was younger, so when everyone was used to eating mayonnaise with their fries in the Netherlands, I wanted tomato ketchup.
— Who is your favorite entertainer?
I enjoy watching cynical comedians such as Louis C.K. or Bo Burnham, the latter of whom even accompanied himself on piano. I think this takes a lot of planning and courage.
— Who is someone you admire and why?
Stephen Hawking. Even though he was completely paralyzed, he dedicated his life to try to explain the most complex questions about the universe AND to write down all his thoughts by using computer-based communication. This physicist was a truly amazing man.

We Asked:
— What are the best and worst aspects of your personality?
Being in a world where buying and selling one’s emotions is our main business, I can show you today a good side of me and tomorrow another. But all people need to know about me is that we are human beings who are undergoing constant change.
— What is an issue or cause you are passionate about?
I wish I could say poverty in Africa, but you can’t destroy a tree without destroying the root. So am passionate about the matter of changing the mindset of my generation because we’re the upcoming leaders.
— What are three interesting facts about you?
– I am a very funny person, even my parents don’t know when I’m serious.
– I am very attentional because that’s what I seek for during my childhood.
– I don’t know how to think about myself, that’s why social actions are deep in my soul.
