While the white Dutch take pride in the immaculate Amsterdam canal houses – once the warehouses and homes of wealthy merchants – black Dutch people like Haydie, originally from former Dutch colony Suriname, live in far more modest neighbourhoods.

The sociologist and psychotherapist is also a descendant of Surinamese slaves and brings together black and white people at social events.
