Tell us about yourself
I have been a New Yorker for the last seven years. Born in France and originating from the west indies, I had the chance to discover the world and become an American citizen. My work experience mainly focuses on Arts, fashion, and culture. From specialized clothes for disabled people to ephemeral museums, I always try to conciliate work, values, and passion. I've also done a thousand student jobs to pay for my school, rent, travel, help my family and fund my projects.
From Orleans to New York, I was always focused on how to spread and share artistic knowledge with everyone. I truly believe if you know History, it will be easier to find the path you want to walk. Allowing people to discover and understand art leads to more open-minded citizens with hope and faith in our society. I saw the same artistic passion from an artist living in the Gambia as from an artist living in an ultra-modern city. My creative agency located in Harlem has the objective to guide those artists and share art & culture using technologies.
Black owner with an international path, I want all people of the five boroughs to have access to Arts. Low income, kids, students, migrants, workers, blue collars… I want all of them to have a free opportunity to discover art outside the walls and closed doors.
Sacrebleu, is my answer to democratizing art. No more borders, no more walls, no more private events inaccessible for low-income or people distant from art events. I hope my solution will be a bridge that can give hope.
