Beyond The Brief
I was born and raised in Africa, and those roots continue to anchor my worldview. They taught me resilience, curiosity, and respect for diversity, qualities that guide me across Africa, Europe, and the multilateral system. I am fluent in French and English, conversational in Spanish, and fluent in the language of building bridges.
At the center of my life is my role as a mother of two boys. Parenthood has been my greatest school of leadership, teaching me patience, empathy, and the responsibility of raising beautiful human beings and future citizens who are kind and open-minded.
I am also an artist and storyteller. Whether painting, writing, or stepping into classrooms to help dismantle racism, creativity has always been my way to spark dialogue and transformation. I draw on a boundless energy and imagination that fuel my passions, from mentoring to cooking, from writing children’s books and novels to experimenting with colors on canvas or shaping clay into new forms.
I lead differently. I choose integrity over politics, values over games, and people over ego.
In 2023, I was humbled to be recognized as one of Benin’s talents in the Diaspora, a reminder that my commitment to shaping change must serve both the local communities that raised me and the global community I now serve.
