"Feelings are there to be felt."

What sounds pathetic is actually a call for honesty, tenderness and self-reflection.

With her book "Weil Sonnenblumen auch im Winter blühen", Sabrina Lorenz takes her readers on a poetic journey through the four seasons - and at the same time to herself.

As an activist and slam poet, the author, Sabrina Lorenz, attempts to depict the complexity of a life with a chronic, progressive and life-shortening illness.

This includes all the emotions and thoughts that can arise with the very personal challenges and confrontations, but also in the context of a patriarchal and ableist system.

It is about justice and encouraging people to raise their voices in a sea of prejudice - in which marginalized groups seem to have no place.

It is about woundedness, discrimination, growth and new beginnings.

It is a book full of hope, understanding, radical honesty and courage - with empathetic texts that go to the heart, stay in the mind and give readers the feeling of being seen and heard.

About the author:
With her blog @fragments_of_living, Sabrina Lorenz educates and sets impulses for disability empowerment.

She brings inclusion to the stage and to the center of society. Be it as a keynote speaker, as co-organizer together with the initiator Kevin Hoffmann of the largest Germany-wide community event for people with disabilities and / or chronic illnesses: the Kämpferherzen-Treffen or together with the Para-Olympian Moritz Brückner in their joint podcast "Inklusiv UNS".

Her book "Weil Sonnenblumen auch im Winter blühen" (2023) creates space for exchange, understanding and courage - a must for those affected and their relatives. Awarded as part of the Zeit Campus "30 under 30" (2024) and as the first disabled person in Germany to stand up for inclusive climate protection in the course of the "lawsuit for the future" (September 2024) before the Federal Constitutional Court, Sabrina Lorenz is setting an example for a diverse and democratic future.
