WHAT DREW YOU TO COLLABORATING WITH DEMELLIER?
I gravitate towards brands that reflect deeper values, and its ‘A Bag, A Life’ initiative is a powerful example of fashion with purpose. I’m proud to collaborate with DeMellier—a brand that shares my love of fashion and drive to create a positive impact.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE MIDI PARIS AS YOUR LIMITED-EDITION ICON?
The Midi Paris was the perfect choice for me. I was inspired by the DeMellier woman—what her day looks like, and when she feels most powerful. I imagined her with The Midi Paris, something she carries with confidence no matter the demands of her day.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?
Sophisticated, fun, and confident. I like what I wear to reflect me, not define me. I’m not bound to one look or colour palette, rather a specific fit for my petite frame. Tailoring, shape, and colour are key.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE WAY TO STYLE THE MIDI PARIS?
My favourite way to style The Midi Paris is business casual or with jeans and a tank top. The black and white colourway with silver accents goes with everything and is perfect for styling your own way.

WHAT FIRST INSPIRED YOUR INTEREST IN PHILANTHROPY?
Philanthropy is our way of giving back to the world that gives us so much. I grew up in a home where this ethos was second nature. It’s how we bring balance and express gratitude.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE IN LOS ANGELES?
Anywhere by the sea. I feel at peace on the water. Though it’s the Pacific here, it reminds me of the Atlantic coast, specifically the Almadies in Dakar, where I grew up. I traded the Corniche, the coastal road in Dakar, for the Pacific Coast Highway, but it’s still the beach all the same.

WHY IS SUPPORTING WOMEN AND EDUCATION IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Women, especially mothers, play a vital role in shaping future generations. Their influence in society is incomparable and irreplaceable. Investing in the education of young women is investing in our future.

WHO ARE THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE THAT INSPIRE YOU?
I’m surrounded by inspirational women. My mother is probably first on the list, with an unyielding personality and always 110% herself. She is empathetic and cares deeply for everyone while balancing strong morals and principles that guide her. A true queen.

WHAT DOES FEMALE EMPOWERMENT MEAN TO YOU?
It’s essential to humanity—the strength and confidence that drive us. Every person comes from a woman, so our source must be both protected and respected. In Africa, kingdoms followed matriarchal lineage; women stored their secrets in their bags, symbolising their power.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR YOUNGER SELF?
I would tell my younger self to be patient. In my language, Wolof, we have a saying that translates to ‘when in stillness, stillness will show you the way’.
