I studied theology and canon law at university, earning a BA and a Master’s degree, and and I am passionate about the education of young people, especially that of young Black African women.
I deeply believe that they are called to build a better world through their work. But to truly flourish, they need high-quality human formation. That’s why I offer guidance based on the development of essential life skills.
