Who is your guide?
Hi, I am Shayna!
Hi! I’m Shayna. I’m a local, bicultural artist and experienced art educator for all ages. I’m passionate about using creativity to connect people — to themselves, each other, and the world around them.
As a queer parent, I also know the peace of mind it brings to find welcoming, safe activities that you can enjoy together as an LGBTQIA+ family. I’m thrilled to join Sanne’s LGBTOUR AMSTERDAM and to give you and your curious youngsters just that: creativity-centered and deeply personalized experiences of Amsterdam, especially for kids, parents, and caregivers of Rainbow families.
