I am a strategic adviser, educator, facilitator, and artist working across social justice, journalism, and creative practice.
Much of my work revolves around stories: who gets to tell them, whose experiences they center, and how they shape the way we understand ourselves and others. Through research, dialogue, and impact learning processes, I support organizations and communities in navigating questions of power, representation, and social change.
I regularly teach courses on justice, power and the enduring effects of colonialism at the University of Amsterdam’s PPLE college (Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics). Organizations I have worked with as an adviser include philanthropic partners such as the Democracy and Media Foundation, Limelight Foundation and the European Cultural Foundation, as well as civic initiatives such as Humanity in Action and DeGoedeZaak.
More about this work can be found under Story, Strategy and Dialogue. My current reflections and essays are published on Notes From A Road Less Traveled, while earlier journalistic work can be found under Writing.
As a singer and performer, I explore many of these same questions through music. Weaving together intimate grooves, personal storytelling, and social commentary, I create performances that linger between freedom and longing, resistance and connection. Through song, I seek out the cracks in familiar narratives—the places where other possibilities, other futures, quietly begin to emerge.
