Although she grew up in Île-de-France, she returned to live in Martinique two years ago, where her family is from: “My late grandparents instilled West Indian values in me and my father always took us on vacation to Martinique. We spent four or five months a year there.”
Spending her youth between France and overseas beaches, she also experienced more difficult times: “My mother had breast cancer and I didn’t cope very well with it. I would like to help women who are victims of breast cancer. Makeup and hairdressing help me gain self-confidence so it can also help them take care of themselves and reveal their beauty after illness.” A noble cause that she will be responsible for defending over the next 12 months.
