“In the Netherlands, I am a Surinamese, in Suriname a Dutchman. But where do I belong then? Maybe I should just look it up on Google Maps: ‘where do I feel at home?’ Spoiler alert: no results found.

And then my kids… I try to be a good parent, but sometimes I have no idea what I’m doing. Parenting books? It seems my children haven’t read those.

Even outside on the street, it sometimes feels like a minefield. In the past, you would just say “Good afternoon” to a stranger, now they look at you as if you just asked them to pick up your towel in the sauna. And social media? People respond as if they’ve just been bitten by a red ant. You say “I like pancakes” and before you know it, you have the entire anti-gluten community after you.

In Navigatie is stuk, I take you into my confusion about identity, parenthood, and the strange world we live in. Come laugh, come cry – but above all, don’t come being angry. Because believe me, I don’t know any better either.

Will I see you there?”
