Born in 1985 in Bonn, West Germany to a Kenyan mother and German father, I was raised beneath the tall, tall trees of Nairobi.
Deeply passionate about fostering meaningful connection; I endeavour to connect people more profoundly to themselves, more deeply to others, as well as those they perceive as different and to the planet that sustains us all.
Rooted in the shared human experience, my work seeks to bridge divides and affirm the profound truth that we are all interconnected.
I am best known for my film work, particularly the short film Seeds (Ecumenical Jury Prize, Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen 2017) and the feature documentary New Moon (Best Documentary, DIFF 2018).
My creative journey extends beyond filmmaking; I write, photograph, paint and act.
My passion for sharing and connecting with others finds expression in life coaching, astrology, psychic mediumship, yoga, teaching, curating events, DJing, designing websites, public-speaking coaching and officiating weddings and funerals.
I have lived in France, Germany, Senegal, South Africa, the Netherlands, Ethiopia, England and Belgium, each place shaping and evolving my perspective.

My mother said
on the beach she was born I was born
grey it was
at dawn it was
alone she was
‘Our blood is in the sea’ she said
‘The sea was the first to see us
and so the sea will be the last to leave us’
She washed us in its salty tears
