MARVIN HOKSTAM


Marvin Hokstam is a journalist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands

 Marvin Hokstam considers himself blessed for “being able to exist at the crossroads of the things that bring me joy.” Those things are journalism and education, with a focus on the community that he is from: the afro community.

Marvin worked in journalism in his native Suriname and the English-speaking Caribbean as a regional and international reporter, conquering five Caribbean journalism awards along the way. He also worked as communications consultant, providing media-related services to corporations and (grassroots) social organizations throughout the Caribbean.

He relocated to the Netherlands in 2012, where he founded AFRO Magazine, a news and opinion platform that tells the underreported stories from the local afro community.

He has diverted somewhat to education in recent years, running Weekend College and StudieMAX, educational support programs of the ROCvA, managing and coaching coaches, volunteers and interns, liaising with ROCvA management and municipality, as well as with parents and (grassroot) social organizations in Amsterdam Southeast.

Hokstam holds a Post Graduate Certificate in Marketing and Communications from the Bournemouth University, UK.

He is a member of the Black Members Council (BMC) of the (British) National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and European representative of the Association of Caribbean Mediaworkers (ACM).

Marvin Hokstam acht zich gezegend om te mogen vertoeven op wat hij noemt “het kruispunt van alle dingen die voor mij ertoe doen”. Die dingen zijn journalistiek, onderwijs, maatschappelijk en jongenopbouwwerk in de afro gemeenschap.

Hokstam begon als journalist in Suriname en het Engelstalig Caribisch gebied waar hij 20 jaar lang werkte als regionaal en internationaal journalist en er 5 Caribische journalistieke awards won.

Hij verhuisde in 2012 naar Nederland, waar hij het online nieuws en opinie platform AFRO Magazine oprichtte voor de opinies en verhalen uit de afro gemeenschap.

Als zijinstromer bij het ROCvA, waar hij leiding geeft aan de leerondersteuningsprojecten Weekend

College en StudieMAX, geeft hij leiding aan coaches, vrijwilligers en stagiaires en fungeert hij als spil tussen gemeente, ROCvA, maatschappelijke organisaties en ouders in Amsterdam Zuidoost.

Hokstam is in het bezit van een Post Graduate Certificate in Marketing and Communications van de Bournemouth University in het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

Hij is lid van de Black Members Council (BMC) van de Britse National Union of Journalists (NUJ), en van de Association of Caribbean Mediaworkers (ACM).
