After 10 intense days with the team Star Academythe young woman is back with her parents in Charlesbourg where the pressure is slowly easing.

“Performing on the stage of Star Academyeven if it’s just for one evening, my God I will never forget it that evening! For real, there are such good people behind this show-there. They love what they do, they know what they do and they take care of us,” says Kenza Nejmi.

“I learned so much in a short time, I made lifelong friends, that much is clear, and I made connections,” she adds.
