2024 Dakar Biennale: everything you need to know

Posted on by Senegalese Twisted

It has been ages since I wrote a blog, but I am (kind of) back for an extensive post about the 2024 Dakar Biennale. So yes! I am currently in Senegal. The last time I traveled to Senegal, was in 2022 and you can find the mini-travel guide I made for that trip. I have been here for six months and I tell you more about what I have been doing and what I am doing in Senegal on my YouTube channel. Some of you may know that I am working on a travel guide titled “Kaay Ñu Dem Senegaal – Come Let’s go to Senegal“. However, currently, all my travel guide activities have been on hold since November 7th due to the 2024 Dakar Biennale. Let me tell you all about it!

Senegal: What you should absolutely know about my latest trip!

Posted on by Senegalese Twisted

It has been a long while since I wrote a blog, but I am back and I am currently in Senegal! Earlier this year, I talked about the trip I took to Fuerteventura and shortly after, I actually visited Madeira too. In this blog I want to share a whole lot about my latest trip to Senegal, but mostly: what I have done so far. The last time I went to Senegal was in 2019, so it was about time I come back. Not only to see family and (new) friends, but also for my creative spirit. During the pandemic, I have been a lot more creative and been inspired by so many creatives in the Netherlands. Therefore, this trip to Senegal is supposed to be a source of inspiration, connection and some sort of homecoming. Before we get into what I have done so far, I created this mini-travel guide! There are many more pictures of what I have done so far here in Dakar. You can also download the mini-travel guide at the end of this blog. Let’s go!

Posted on by Senegalese Twisted

In the first post of this year, I want to talk about my hair and Daffie Be Proud! Remember that you can still read all about my trip to Italy or my experience with IDFA and moderating. Since the start of the pandemic, I have been sharing much more about my natural hair. Both on my instagram, but also on YouTube. I have received a lot of positive reactions from sharing my natural hair and last year I even got my first collab with a Natural hair brand. Woop woop!! Yes, I received some Daffie Be Proud products to use and I did. So now I will share all my opinions with you. Let’s get into my hair en Daffie Be Proud!

Disclosure: This post contains some affiliate links and I may receive commissions for purchases made through the product links in this post. Nevertheless, they are all products I highly recommend. I would not recommend products I haven’t verified and/or personally used.

IDFA 2021 x Munganyende: Breakfast in Kisumu at OSCAM

Posted on by Senegalese Twisted

In my last blog of 2021, I want to talk about IDFA 2021! Previously, I shared all about Rome and Venice and it was amazing to travel again! As some of you may know, I moderated for the first time this past October. If you would have told me that I would one day moderate an event in the Netherlands, I would have never believed you! Especially the program we did for IDFA with the screening of Breakfast in Kisumu at OSCAM. For real, even thinking back, it was just all surreal. All my friends were there to support me, it went very well and it gave me a whole different type of confidence I didn’t know I needed. Let’s talk all about IDFA 2021, Breakfast in Kisumu and much more!

Rome, Italy: the magic of revisiting my childhood home

Posted on by Senegalese Twisted

In my last blog, I shared all about Venice and now I want to talk to you about Rome! Yes, after a couple of days in Venice, we finally went to the capital of Italy. I told you all about growing up in Italy as a child already, but I was so excited for Rome! It is crazy to think that now, 20-something years later, I find my way back in Italy and I finally get to go and see the city I grew up in! All I can say now is that the city is amazing! I remember seeing it for the first time from the tram and I was speechless! Other than that, there is so much to do here! Let me not digress, parliamo tutti di Roma – Let’s talk all about Rome!

Venice, Italy: Visiting for the first time

Posted on by Senegalese Twisted

In my last blog, I shared my adventures in Austria and today I will talk about traveling to Venice! Additionally, 5 Things You Need To Consider When Traveling During A Pandemic is still relevant. So, I went to Venice and I had such a beautiful time which I want to share. As some may know, I actually lived in Italy when I was a child. I used to live in Rome with my parents and my little sister was born there. While living in Rome, I went to a French-Italian school. I even used to speak Italian, but unfortunately, I traded that in for Dutch. Now 20-something years later, I find my way back in Italy and I visit Venice!
