Great day at ROC van Amsterdam! ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ”ฅ

Today I had the privilege of running workshops with an amazing team for a group of enthusiastic students โ€” writing raps, making beats, and discovering together what theyโ€™ve got.

Proud of the engagement from the teachers and the energy from the students. Days like this show exactly what Future Me stands for: giving young people a platform to find their voice, through music, fashion, theater, and visual arts.

Thanks to the whole team โ€” Bazz, Sabrina, Rellie, Sep, Sev, Jotte, Saundra and all the involved teachers โ€” for this great collaboration. Every Wednesday in September, we continue!

Tofu and broccoli stir-fry for breakfast. I am trying out new dishes. For the past month, I have had a very hard time getting eggs down my throat, to the point of feeling nauseous.

I used to love eggs, but now I am looking for alternatives, and this morning I fried up some tofu with plenty of herbs and very little salt because of my low-salt diet. And then I added some broccoli. I have to say that the tofu tastes the same as egg. Next time I will add some soy sauce to give it a bit more juice. Food = medicine ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿ’Š

Have a great Monday everyone, make the most of it!

A song about freedom โ€” but for me, freedom is more than a word.

For years, I have been taking music into prison. To young people who are incarcerated, literally and sometimes within their own story. We write, make music, talk, laugh, confront, and build a way back.

Because one wrong choice doesnโ€™t have to be the end of your story.

I dedicate this song to them ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐ŸคŽ

A change is gonna come.

This week, the good news came from the internist: my kidneys are working well and the protein loss is minimal.

After everything my body has been through, this song hits me a little differentlyโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s been a long time comingโ€ฆ
But I know a change is here.

This living room session beautifully translates what I feel right now

My body is changing. My life is changing, but I am enough.

Godโ€™s grace is new every morning ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฟ๐ŸคŽ

Back at Slotermeerlaan 173. Fourth floor, that balcony up on the right โ€” thatโ€™s where I grew up. I used to look out over the neighborhood and drift off into daydreams.

This neighborhood, Geuzenveld-Slotermeer, was known in the โ€˜90s as the area with the highest percentage of youth crime in the Netherlands. I was no exception to that. But at the same time, it was also a neighborhood full of togetherness, with all kinds of cultures mixed together โ€” you knew each other, you looked out for one another. Itโ€™s the place where it all began: my friendships, adventures in the neighborhood, my first mistakes, and eventually also my path toward something better.

I still love walking back through it every once in a while. Not to stay stuck in the past, but to see how far Iโ€™ve come โ€” and where I still get to go.

Did you also grow up in a neighborhood where all cultures just came together?

New gym video. New energy. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

And today Iโ€™m not just training with a good feeling โ€” Iโ€™m training with good news: my kidneys are functioning well. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

After everything Iโ€™ve been through, thatโ€™s not something I take for granted. Thatโ€™s a win. A reminder that your body can be stronger than you think.

So I keep building. Not just muscle, but a healthier body, a stronger mind, and a longer life.

No excuses. Just keep moving.
One day at a time. ๐Ÿ–ค

๐ŸŽธ **LOOKING FOR: AFROBEAT / HIGHLIFE GUITARIST**

For an upcoming musical research project Iโ€™m looking for a guitarist rooted in the Nigerian afrobeat and highlife tradition โ€” the language of Fela Kuti and the West African guitar schools.

The project involves a series of masterclasses in which I want to deepen my understanding of the guitar structures, rhythms and cultural weight of this music.

**Who Iโ€™m looking for:**
โ€ข In-depth knowledge of afrobeat and/or highlife guitar
โ€ข Experience teaching or passing on knowledge
โ€ข Affinity with the cultural context, not just the technique
โ€ข Preferably based in the Netherlands

Paid engagement, starting late 2026 / early 2027 subject to funding.

Know someone, or is this you? DM or email [email protected]
