was born in Belgium to Congolese parents and grew up far from the city, in modest conditions where adversity shaped me from the start. Very early on, I realized that success for someone like me would only come by going further—working harder, daring more, seizing even the smallest opportunities. Moving to Brussels didn’t change that reality. If anything, the injustices I saw around me fueled my determination. I was never driven by fame or by the need to imitate others. What inspires me most is a simple phrase that has carried me through every challenge: “Don’t give up.” At the same time, I’ve always been deeply moved by the timeless vision of Peter Lindbergh his ability to capture raw beauty, authenticity, and emotion continues to guide my own artistic journey. My path has never been easy whether in school, in family, in relationships, or in my career. There were countless times I could have stopped. But to me, giving up means giving up on purpose, and I refuse to live without purpose. That’s why I pursue my dreams with relentless passion. And just as importantly, I want to help others believe they can achieve theirs dreams without limits.
