Annet M
Eens journalist, altijd journalist. Dat is het motto van Annet, die na een halve eeuw nog altijd niets liever doet dan schrijven. Als socioloog heeft ze een scherp afgestelde antenne voor maatschappelijke en persoonlijke problematiek. Als redacteur van de weekbladen HP, HP/DeTijd en het maandblad Psy schreef ze talloze reportages over incest, verslaving, psychiatrie, ongewilde kinderloosheid, kindermishandeling, dementie en aanverwante onderwerpen. De reportages wisselde ze af met portretterende interviews met klassieke musici van naam en faam. In 2019 voltooide ze -in opdracht- haar eerste levensverhaal en wist dat hier haar toekomst moest liggen. Reflecteren op het leven impliceert een spannende zoektocht die ze graag begeleidt.
