“DecidoSer was one of the best parts of the program because it influenced my life for good. I write songs, I sing, and, because of my emotional breakdown, there were months where I couldn’t write a song like I normally did. The first song which broke that pause in my life, was the one I dedicated to DecidoSer, that’s how it’s called, and since then I’ve been able to have more ideas and be more creative. Little by little I m improving, thanks to all the lessons I have learnt from this program”.

For Karen, art is also a way to reduce violence, which is why she insists in that there continue to be this type of opportunities in her territory, so that “the children and young people can overcome their difficulties through music and therapy, independent of their socioeconomic background or the situation in the city”. For her, the youth of her territory would advance better if they had a life project and the possibility to materialize it.

Karen’s dream is to be a world-renowned singer and she feels that after her participation in ‘Move it’ she now knows the steps to take to achieve and turn her vocation for music into a profession. In addition, she is in her eighth semester studying law and is confident she will be able to combine these two professions.
