I hail from central Africa - the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I'm a proud Congolese woman born in the thriving and bustling city of Kinshasa.
At age 5, my family and I immigrated to Johannesburg, South Africa
where I grew up,

learnt to speak English,
and came to love the beauty of a
"lekker braai"  
(also known as a good old-fashioned BBQ to the rest of the world.)

​

I've always loved art, photography and media and worked for some time as a TV presenter and sport's journalist before transitioning to life as an on-air radio presenter.
A serendipitous move as it would turn out because working in radio is where I landed up meeting my soulmate
- a gorgeous, dark-haired and 
blue-eyed gentleman who
- not only swept me off my feet -
but also swept me on to a new continent!

Today, you can find me loving long summer days while sipping on homemade ice tea, watching my little people enjoy a refreshing swim at the beach.
Or you can find me holding a mug of hot apple cider, humming along to Christmas carols as I watch snowflakes silently fall to the ground.

And while Canada will always have my pillow,
Africa will always have my heart!
