There aren’t that many Surinamese female authors in The Netherlands so it was a breath of fresh air for me to discover Karin Amatmoekrim who originates from the same background and country (Surinam) as I do. She will hopefully inspire future generations of female authors from all different kinds of backgrounds with her stories. Next to having a creative partnership, I also handle all the PR and Marketing for her next book The Gym. The Gym chronicles the adventures and experiences of a young black girl from a poor background who goes to a prestige all white high level high school.
