What an incredible finale for Miss Pride of Africa UK 2024! As the reigning queen from 2022-2023, I was truly honored to witness the stunning representation of our beautiful African continent through the diverse cultures celebrated by each contestant. The array of vibrant and stunning attires and mesmerising dance performances showcased the richness of our heritage. Congratulations to the new queen and princesses!

On the 26th December 2022, I paid a warm visit to the CNAG Center (Confédération national des Albinos de Guinee) in Conakry and gifted several essentials.

This Center is a home to many vulnerable albinos, some of them even being orphans. From babies to teenagers, the CNAG has been taking care of their living necessities such as food, education, medical treatments and more.
During my reign and after as promised, working alongside @missprideofafricauk we will help medically, as well as help tackle the issues they face within society. I was honestly so touched by their innocent laughter, kindness and happiness despite the troubles they’re facing. Thank you @mila_anufrieva @mila_4_africa for your huge support at the CNAG Center which I was informed of and witnessed.
@miina_sap a big thank you to you, for helping and blessing the children with smiles and importantly for gracing me, with the opportunity to visit the children I’m ever so grateful for it.

‘ALL OF IT IS A SELF-PORTRAIT... IT’S ABOUT SEEING YOURSELF IN OTHER PEOPLE’ - Kehinde Wiley

I visited the new V&A East Museum last weekend and I must say that I absolutely loved the experience!

From the beautiful exhibitions to the atmosphere of the space itself, it felt incredibly inspiring to see culture, creativity and storytelling presented in such a modern and engaging way.

Definitely a cultural destination worth exploring if you’re in London; whether with your girlies, friends or family! 😍

Grateful for this recognition, and even more inspired.

I’m truly honoured to be shortlisted for the Art & Culture Ambassador Award.

What started as a passion for celebrating culture & heritage has grown into a purpose; creating spaces where culture is not only seen, but felt, shared, and understood across generations.

@woi_awards Grateful for the recognition, and even more grateful for the communities that continues to inspire the work ❤️

On this International Women’s Day, I’m reflecting on the journey that has shaped the woman I am today.

From the world of pageantry to humanitarian work, and now building initiatives focused on cultural dialogue, my path has always been rooted in purpose; using every platform I’ve been given to build bridges between communities, generations and cultures.

Across the world, women continue to lead with courage, compassion and vision. Their voices shape conversations, challenge barriers and open doors for those who follow.

Today we celebrate the women who inspire change, uplift others and remind us that true leadership is rooted in purpose.

Happy International Women’s Day. 💐

#ThrowbackThursday (if it’s still a thing)
Two days ago marked one month since La Guinéolese celebrated its 3rd edition, and my heart is still so full! Three years in… from a dream some thought was too crazy or unrealistic — “How can you fit Francophone West and Central Africa in one room? Let alone Guinea and Congo? It doesn’t make sense!”

Well… we didn’t squeeze or fit the cultures in.
We merged them.
We celebrated them.
We created a joyful fusion where cultural exchange wasn’t a concept — it was alive in the room.

This wasn’t AFCON.
This was LA GUINÉOLESE — a space where Congo and Guinea are rarely seen together or said in the same sentence if not in the context of football.

A massive thank you to everyone who has poured into this vision:
our attendees, judges, sponsors, hosts, caterers, DJ, servers, my family, my friends, the Guinéolese team, the Guinean Embassy — and of course, the legendary Djo Balard for elevating and encouraging this journey.
And Yaya Loketo, thank you so much for your presence and energy.

Here’s to what we’ve built… and what’s still to come.
✨🌍🇬🇳🇨🇬
