Sabi Suri Sani: a labor of love
Growing up, Suriname was a constant presence in my life. Stories from my grandparents about their childhood, vibrant music playing in the background, and the delicious aroma of Surinamese dishes wafting through the kitchen – these were all pieces of a puzzle I could never quite seem to complete. Information about Suriname felt scattered, passed down through generations in bits and pieces.
One day, while researching a specific Surinamese tradition, I realized the frustration wasn’t unique to me. Many people shared the same experience – piecing together a rich cultural heritage from fragmented sources. This sparked the idea for Sabi Suri Sani.
