BE Alink

BE Alink was born and raised in the Netherlands, is a trained woodworker and restoration architect who left NL, for what became 10 years of community reconstruction work in Kenya, The Sudan, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kosovo of which 3,5 years in Afghanistan.

BE is the founder and inventor of the Alinker walking bike, which she refers to as a vehicle of change. BE's reverse design practices / philosophy lead to the Alinker, which is not built for a "body-with-a-problem" but for who we are, active and engaged.

BE is a gender bender, and has often been called crazy, all over the place, scattered. People told her to focus, and to comply, but BE does not fit in, just held true to her vision that the world needs something else, for and by us all, no one excluded. BE focuses on who we are, not what we have.

BE has built her company into a movement of people showing up for each other. Years ago, she said: "I dream of a world where the dismissed people of today are our leaders of tomorrow”. BE employs Alinker users (otherwise unemployed), pays everybody living wage, The Alinker has certified BCorp status, is more than carbon neutral, and practically plastic free.

The Alinker company is built to create access to health, by building access to mobility, community and real food.

BE is also a musician, composer and frequency /neuroscience-based soundscape recording artist creating frequency and sound healing compositions. After years of studying and practicing in my own space, this is the first time I am publicly coming out in this capacity.
