Hello!
Welcome to Somewhere in Between. A space to explore different ideas and perspectives through writing.
Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy.
Welcome to Somewhere in Between. A space to explore different ideas and perspectives through writing.
Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy.
My name is Dakota Sinder.
I am the author of this blog and the book, The Most Gentle People.
I am Indonesian and American. But, if you really drill down, there’s a bit of Chinese, Russian, Hungarian, and more in my blood.
I’ve been told that my family has roots around the world. I am both Jewish & Muslim. Yes, that’s correct; I was raised with both faiths and cultures.
I was born between Millennials and Gen Z in Berkeley, CA. When I was two, I moved to Jakarta where I lived until I graduated high school.
I then moved to Washington, DC for college.
After graduating, I moved to New York to work in the sports and entertainment industry.
After five years working in different parts of the industry, I took a break to work on The Most Gentle People.
Somewhere in Between is a blog. But for the purposes of being uppity and abstract, let’s call it my digital “studio.”
Like any self respecting person with an artistic inclination, I aspire to one day have my own physical studio in a down trodden alleyway in a soon to be gentrified neighborhood.
Due to resource constrains and a lack of any signification reputation (read: not rich and famous yet), this website will have to suffice for now.
Sarcasm and jokes aside—in 2024, I started working on a book. I view such an endeavor as a runner does when they prepare for the marathon. I will need to work at this a lot and practice regularly.
That’s what this space is for. As I work on the book, I’ll be writing occasionally on different subjects and in different forms to keep my writing muscles growing and to give me another outlet during the process.
What’s in it for you?
Consider Somewhere in Between like a “variety show” newsletter with different topics, perspectives, and writing styles.
Many of us subscribe to publications and consume content along very specific lines. That is great for advancing our careers and depth of knowledge in a specific area.
However, I believe that there is also value in mixing it up to satisfy our basic sense of curiosity and desire for serendipity, in an otherwise routine-oriented and linear world.
With that, I hope you enjoy this space!
Thank you for time and support.
Note: While recovering from surgery during 2024, new posts were paused to focus on that and writing the book.
