HERITAGE
She was born in Kaolack, Senegal. At age nine months she was sent to Gambia to live with her great aunt after her mother went to France to study and her father moved to Spain in search of work. She returned to Senegal at age nine to live with her grandmother before relocating to Spain the following year with her mother and her brother to join her father. After spending three years in Spain, her parents split up and she briefly moved back to Senegal with her mother and her brother. At age 14 they moved to France. "Each experience and each country that I have crossed has brought me something, whether it is at the cultural level or life experience. In international competitions, it is one less concern. When I arrive somewhere, I know that I can manage to make myself understood. I speak three of the four most widely spoken languages in the world." (actu.fr, 12 Dec 2020; sans-filtre.fr, 25 Oct 2020)
