In 2019, I took my illustrations off the screen and onto the streets of Paris for the very first time.

Together with Art Azoï, I transformed a wall in Ménilmontant into a celebration of movement, color, dance and words meant to lift people up.

What I loved most was painting in public and watching people react in real time: especially the local residents who passed this wall every day and slowly watched it become something new.

The mural only existed for three weeks, so I documented everything, animated the characters and even experimented with augmented reality to make the artwork live beyond the wall.

It disappeared, but it opened a completely new scale for my work.

Today, I create murals and large-scale visual experiences for brands, cultural spaces and public places around the world.

If you have a wall, a space or an ambitious idea you’d like to bring to life, I’m open for commissions and collaborations. ✨

What would you love to see me paint next?

What I find particularly intriguing about Danish aesthetics is that its influence extends beyond furniture, clothing, and interiors; it also shows up in people's behavior and presentation.

Especially in Copenhagen, I’ve observed that individuals are sometimes selective about their social circles, often influenced by whether someone embodies the “right” image. This phenomenon isn't limited to Danish culture alone; it can be tied to a broader perception of what is considered tasteful, sophisticated, and effortlessly 'cool.'

It seems that when someone's personality, appearance, or self-expression diverges from these standards, it can create a sense of disconnect.

This aspect of Danish aesthetics is something I seldom see discussed openly.

Do you notice this as well, or has your experience been quite different?

Erasmus encourages us to cross borders, meet people and experience life somewhere else; but what happens when somewhere else becomes home?

I came to Denmark for six months and stayed for thirteen years.
What started as a student exchange became love, work, family, identity and an entire adult life built in a country that wasn’t mine.
And over the years, I’ve realised that being welcomed somewhere and truly feeling that you belong there are two very different things.

This isn’t only a Danish question, but one I think many people living abroad across Europe will recognise.

We celebrate mobility, cultural exchange and international relationships, yet belonging can become much more complicated once foreigners decide to put down roots.

I don’t think there is a simple answer, and my own relationship with Denmark contains both gratitude and frustration.
But thirteen years here have completely changed the way I think about home.

So I’m curious about your experience: if you live abroad, do you feel that the country you live in truly sees you as part of it?

And what, after all these years, makes a place feel like home to you?

If you connected with my book Belonging, I want to introduce you to another part of my work: my visual art, which has been exploring many of the same questions for years.

In my search for belonging, I started drawing Black characters in vivid colors to reclaim my Black identity.

For a long time, being mixed made me feel as if I existed somewhere in between. As if understanding who I was meant choosing one side or the other. Making art helped me realize that I didn’t have to divide myself to belong. I could hold my entire heritage at once.

I identify as a Black woman, while also understanding Blackness as a spectrum of identities, histories, skin tones, and experiences. The deep Black skin I use in my work isn’t meant to represent one specific skin tone. For me, it has become a visual language: a way of connecting the figures I draw to a shared African heritage.

That is where these three characters come from: The Radiant One, The Rebel Poet, and The Dreamer.

I wanted to portray them almost as heroes. Proud, vibrant, unapologetically present.

The colors are part of that language too. I grew up in the 90s, surrounded by the boldness of pop culture, cartoons, television, video games, and clothes. At the same time, African wax prints gave me another connection to color, pattern, and heritage. Screen printing brings those influences together beautifully: layer upon layer of saturated ink makes the colors almost jump from the paper.

Sometimes I think about what it would have meant to have images like these on the walls when I was a child.

To see African heritage represented not as something I needed to reduce or distance myself from to belong, but as something beautiful, expansive, and worthy of pride.

Maybe that is part of why I make them now.

These three limited-edition screen prints were made by hand in Lille, individually numbered and signed.

Unlike digital images, these prints showcase rich layers, subtle color variations, and a tactile quality that truly come alive in person.

Each of these three unique pieces was meticulously hand screen printed in Lille as a limited edition, then personally numbered and signed; making them truly one-of-a-kind. Crafted slowly and beautifully, they’re designed to be cherished objects that can accompany you for years to come.

These exclusive limited-edition screen prints are now available through the link in my bio!
