I have experience writing on a wide range of subjects, genres and formats. Writing is one of my passions, and I love spending time with a pen and paper, or speaking about the art of creative writing with others.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside this I have been engaged in humanitarian activities in Africa for over 20 years through work in various developmental and women\u2019s organisations and personal voluntary projects. Currently I also direct the African-European Parliamentarians Initiative (AEPI), which focuses on democracy and parliamentary capacity building in Africa. I volunteer my time as Project Coordinator by the Template Foundation in the Netherlands,\u00a0Netherlands Country Chair for the Security &amp; Defence wing of the G100 and I am a member of Feminenza International.<\/p>\n<p>I love spending time in nature and in good conversations. I also love to spend time curled up with a book, a cup of tea, and one of the two cats who allow me to live in their home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/116"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=116"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":849,"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/116\/revisions\/849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/excellentza.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
