Philosophizing about the future of Kata²
It all starts with energy! As I say it, I can already hear my two sons saying, "There she goes again, our Teletubby, always with the "energy".
But that's how every story begins.

Monstrous Monday
Monstrous Monday is about the challenges we face with the less flattering sides of ourselves. It’s about the inner monsters we sometimes struggle with.
Every Monday, Aca dives into the shadowy corners of her inner world, confronting the everyday demons that many of us know all too well.
Between the lines
In this column, you’ll find what often goes unnoticed: the nuance in the conversation, the silence after a statement, the glance that says more than the report. Here, headlines are not repeated, but context is added. No quick judgments, but observations with care. ‘Between the lines’ is about what lies hidden behind systems, words, and encounters. Where the real story often only begins to unfold.
Compass: Stories about searching, feeling, and sometimes finding.
Sometimes you know exactly where you stand. More often, you don’t. Nusa Ina writes personal pieces about being on a journey with questions that don’t always demand immediate answers. It’s about struggles, curiosity, and moments of sensing direction without knowing exactly where to go. No grand truths, but fragments of experience that can feel like a signpost.
Compass is not a manual but an open page from a journey still underway.
Onze schrijvers
Op Kata² worden woorden gedragen met vuur.
Aca Siwabessy-Stoffels, Betty Titawano en Nusa Ina geven taal aan herinnering, gemeenschap en reflectie.
Van poëtisch en persoonlijk tot scherp en invoelend —
deze schrijfsters brengen diverse perspectieven tot leven, ieder op haar eigen unieke manier.
Samen vormen zij het kloppend hart van Kata².
Aca Siwabessy-Stoffels
Word artist
Aca schrijft zoals ze is: helder, eerlijk en zonder omwegen. In haar wekelijkse blog Simpelsap deelt ze observaties, herinneringen en gedachten die klein lijken, maar groots binnenkomen.
Aca schrijft waar anderen stil blijven — altijd eenvoudig, nooit oppervlakkig.
Naast het schrijven draagt ze haar teksten ook voor tijdens evenementen, waarbij ze haar woorden laat landen zoals ze bedoeld zijn: direct, menselijk en voelbaar.
Betty Titawano
Marketingconsultant, illustrator & schrijfster bij LSL
Betty Titawano beweegt zich moeiteloos tussen strategie en verbeelding. Als marketingconsultant denkt ze scherp en toekomstgericht, als illustrator vangt ze gevoel in beeld, en als schrijfster brengt ze verhalen die raken.
Bij Lainsayanglain geeft Betty vorm aan meer dan alleen plannen — ze bouwt aan beleving, taal en beeld die verbinden. Met haar creativiteit en heldere blik is ze een drijvende kracht achter onze inhoud én uitstraling.
Nusa Ina
Word artist
Nusa Ina has been crowned chief wordsmith of LSL.
In 2019 she started writing for our platform and shares life experiences through her candid pieces.
Met haar openheid weet zij ons elke keer weer te raken en mee te nemen in haar belevingswereld met als doel een veilige haven te creëren waar een ieder ongeacht afkomst, gender, seksualiteit of kleur welkom is.

Did you know?
In the time of pristine nature, the Alfurs lived on the islands of the Moluccas.
The Alfurs, also called Alifuru, used the Tahuri (triton seashell) as a means of communication. For example, village chiefs and fellow villagers were signaled that there was important news to report.
The shell is also used today to call the ancestors for ceremonies & used as an instrument.
