The Road To Boho Afrika

Let me start off by saying, I don’t have a neat origin story, and I’m not trying to turn my life into a fairytale. Because if you don’t know by now, there is no such thing. 

A creative and practical background

My background is mostly creative and practical. I trained in fashion design and merchandising, worked in creative production, and I’ve always been someone who sits between ideas and execution.

I’m good at organising things, seeing patterns, and making sense of mess — not in a corporate way, just in a “let’s make this workable” way.

Music, movement, and what stayed with me

Music was a big part of my childhood, and movement has always stayed close. I’m not a professional dancer. I’ve taken classes, done Zumba, explored movement enough to appreciate it properly — not enough to pretend I’m an expert. What I do care about is the difference between spaces that feel accessible and spaces that feel performative. I’m drawn to the first kind.

What travel made clearer

Travel — and especially time spent in Tanzania — shifted things further.

Not in a “life-changing revelation” way, but in a slow, accumulative one. I kept noticing how much creativity, intelligence, and adaptability already existed, and how little room there sometimes was to pause, plan, or explore ideas without pressure.

A parallel lesson from working in a library

Around the same time, working in a public library in Canada reinforced something for me.

Libraries aren’t glamorous. But they work. They offer access to books, activities, workshops, and shared space without asking people to justify why they’re there. That normalisation of learning and creativity matters more than people realise.

What this feeds into now

All of this feeds into what I’m building now.

I’m interested in creating spaces — workshops, creative sessions, small group work, and project support — that feel grounded, human, and actually useful. Not inspirational. Not transformational. Just supportive enough to help people think clearly, try things, and take themselves a bit more seriously.

A work in progress

I don’t have all the answers. I’m not pretending to.

I’m still building this work as I go. What matters to me is that it stays honest, adaptable, and rooted in real life — not in language that sounds good but doesn’t mean much.
