Many things happened after this interview. First, Kris Senanu transitioned into a new phase of his life, took up new roles. During our interview, he was on break from active work, the shadows having caught up, having put in hard yards for most of his life. Second, even more consequential, he lost his wife.

“I used to struggle,” he says. “I need to do this, then I’ll do that, but now I am at a stage where I know I can do a little bit of all of it, in the spaces I want, in a comfortable way, without being rushed.”
