Keti Koti! Broken chains, shared stories, and a room full of people choosing to connect.💙⛓️‍💥   On June 29, KLM Connecting Colours and Transavia came together to commemorate and celebrate Keti Koti. Together, we created space for meaningful conversations about our shared history and the importance of belonging. Inspired by the insights of award-winning filmmaker and author Ida Does and journalist and author Leendert van der Valk, we explored how listening to one another’s stories helps build understanding, strengthen connections, and create a culture where everyone can feel they truly belong.   Today, on July 1, we honor the abolition of slavery in Suriname and the former Dutch Caribbean territories. Keti Koti, meaning “broken chains,” reminds us of our shared responsibility to continue building a future rooted in equity, respect and belonging.   Happy Keti Koti from all of us.🫶   Photos: Ruud Rozevink  #KLM #KetiKoti #EmancipationDay #KLMConnectingColours #Transavia
