“For Africa to me… is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.” -Maya Angelou-

From my Arab roots to my European ones and my African background that is home for me today, I have seen and been inspired of many things ranging from my admirations of floral patterns seen in Islamic art or through the African nature that was present in my everyday life … to the rawness of the wild and corrupted life surrounding me growing up in West Africa.
