Activist & Artist
I was born in one of the main cities of the Congo (DRC), I had a peaceful childhood and a rich one in international experiences from early on, as I lived in different countries throughout Africa, Europe, and America.
I was equipped with an open mind, a dreamer one and I felt free of becoming whoever I wanted to be.
I and the closest people in my life saw an artistic side in me and helped nourish it through diary writing, reading books, and drawing here and there. During my teenage years, I was popular among my friends for graffiti and random drawings gifted to them, until my interest in advocacy rose higher and louder in me, although it was always in me thanks to the eldest daughter role anchored in my African cultural roots.
What started as supporting and defending my classmates from a variety of school issues, quickly became the component of my Ikigai; my life purpose.
With the challenges I came across as a black African woman and the injustice I witnessed around me, I decided to become a human rights advocate and a healer. These experiences led me to study psychology, and then pursue a Master's in Migrations studies and another in International Relations.
Today, I dedicate my time to fighting against racism, and any type of discrimination by educating and promoting fundamental rights for all, especially women and girls. I am dedicated to contributing to the healing and empowerment of those who have been hurt and/or deprived of their rights to seek better mental and physical health.
I hope my art will be a rock in the creation of a world where we don't need to be in the process of sanitation, and where we all get to be equal and safe.
