Hanne M. Grégoire (1989) was born on the sea side and now lives in Antwerp, Belgium. She loves food, waves, things on paper and sound. She was trained as a journalist, graduated her Bachelor of Arts in Radio and went on to finish her Master’s degree in Multilingual Communication. 

As a granddaughter of a chef, the love for food is in her DNA. This fueled the start of her career: campaign leader at Flanders Kitchen Rebels, an initiative of VISITFLANDERS to promote Belgian gastronomy and young chefs. Hanne is currently Head of Communication and Press at M Leuven, a museum for Contemporary Art and Ancient Masters. A deep dive into esthetics and what this means throughout centuries. Over the years she has given several guest lectures and keynote speeches on crisis and cultural communication. Hanne has received recognition for her work with nominations and Awards from best culinary magazine, culinary personality of the year to being the only Belgian in top 25 best cultural marketeers in Belgium and the Netherlands. LinkedIn is very helpful if you want to know more about this little ego trip.

After a hibernation of 10 years, Hanne picked up the microphone again and is finishing her Master's in Audiovisual Arts at the prestigious RITCS in Brussels. She upholds gender equality, queer rights and the freedom to choose in her personal and professional life, finding her way in it as a radio maker. The starting point is the podcast series I Don’t Know If I Want To Children.

I Don’t Know If I Want Children is a podcast series in which I look at that life-changing question from different perspectives, based on my own search. 33 years old, with house and job, cool sweetheart and hardly any maternal feelings. Why do I think about this, what is the biological impact of having children at a later age, what does the life of an over-60s without children look like, how do children of older parents look at this question, what is family even...

Lots of questions and all bundled in one series.
