A few words about your artistic career

I started writing when I was sixteen. When I was eighteen, I concentrated on writing for film and television. I'm inspired by African stories and I'm currently specialising in telling stories through animation.

How long have you been an artist?

I've been writing for ten years and working as a presenter for three.

Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?

I applied for this scholarship because I love storytelling and I'm always delighted to have the opportunity to tell African stories. My desire is to use film to offer a hopeful vision for the future of Africa. This grant will enable me to invest in the production of an ambitious and aesthetically innovative short film.

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?

At the end of the residency, I hope to produce a short stop-motion film that proposes solutions and remedies for the failing healthcare systems in many African countries.
