Back in France, she collaborates with numerous French and international media outlets such as ELLE, Marie Claire, L’Express Styles, Grazia, Vogue Italia, and Le Point Afrique, where she stands out for her investigative reporting and features. Recognized as an authority on contemporary African fashion, she works to deconstruct clichés and highlight the innovation, diversity, and modernity of design on the continent.
