Bilingual journalist (English/French), writer, and radio/podcast/documentary producer. I cover mostly African news and diaspora's lives & cultures. I lived & reported in Europe, in the United States & Haiti, in England for the BBC World Service then DW, in East Africa, in Central Africa, in the rest of Africa too. When in Europe, I have been working on African-European relations, on documentary projects (with Raoul Peck), on the "refugee crises", on anti-colonial narratives. In 2015, I came to Bristol to write a book about the birth of its counter-culture. My book retells the story of graffiti artists and bands like The Pop Group, the Wild Bunch, Massive Attack, Tricky, Banksy, etc. It was released in France in Oct. 2016; in the UK/US in 2019 under the title "Out of the Comfort Zone". Between 2019 and 2022, I also worked as a Lecturer in Media/Journalism & as the writer in residence at the Arnolfini international Art Centre in Bristol, UK.
