Stefanella

Stefanella studied art in Idar-Oberstein but had to drop out for health reasons. She was homeless for several months in various cities before finding an apartment in Berlin through "Housing First for Women." She describes her gender transition as intense and exhausting - but says it was nevertheless the right decision. Today, she lives near Idar-Oberstein again, where she will soon study jewelry design and begin an internship in a gemstone cutting workshop.
