About Jenny Abamu and This Publication
When I was in fifth grade, my teacher chastised me for being too analytical. I tried to chill out, but that trait never really left me. I love thinking—deeply and publicly.
This publication is where I share those thoughts with you, breaking down complex systems into accessible insights through the lens of a writer, journalist, and former U.S. diplomat.
What I Explore Here:
Global Systems Simplified - Making sense of the complex mechanisms that shape our world
JAM CQ - Cultural intelligence at the intersection of industry and current affairs
The Herd World - My journey as an indie sci-fi author, writing insights, character fandom, and publishing experiences
Here’s a snapshot of my journey so far:
Foreign policy analyst and former U.S. diplomat (served in Saudi Arabia and Madrid)
Journalist with bylines in numerous national outlets (nominated for the Livingston Journalism Award)
Appearances on ABC News (Middle East Foreign Policy Analyst) and CBS News (WAMU reporter)
Interviewed the 71st Secretary of State Antony Blinken
Columbia University graduate
Teacher overseas
Mother of two
Currently working on several books
For just $5 a month—the price of one coffee—you can support this work and gain access to my complete analyses and insights. Think of it as buying me a cup of coffee to fuel these explorations into our complex world.
