  Hello, my name is Damayanti Sinaga, but you can call me  Butet . In Batak culture, “Butet” is a name often given to female babies, but as I’ve grown, it’s become a part of my identity. Though I’m no longer a baby, the name stuck, especially as many people outside the  Batak community call me Butet. Over time, I’ve come to embrace it. I live in  Kampung Ulos Hutaraja Pardamean , a charming village located on the beautiful  Samosir Island , which is nestled next to the majestic  Lake Toba  in the highlands of North Sumatra.
