Hello, I’m Zinzy, an Afropean mid-range millennial in Amsterdam drawn to complex puzzles and good stories. I’m a diary-keeper, and a design researcher of twenty years working in medical technology. This is a loose-leaf collection of unfinished throughts, lived experiences, and critical notes on the things I hold dear. Go explore, sign my guestbook or say hello.

It’s sweet to begin another journey with the Ted Lasso family this week. Anja and I saved season 4 until after the Summer break was over. Good television is a helpful way to come off of the “I didn’t have time for a bathroom break until 6PM” that is being a teacher. I had forgotten, but the character of Lasso is the main inspiration for how I coach and lead. The gentle understanding that everything will be okay has helped me prioritise, engage, and empathise in countless moments.
