So I was born in Rwanda. Born in Kigali. Left at about age two.
and came over to the UK and grew up in Scotland.
Growing up at like at one point I was like, I think I might be the only black person in the world. Like, how is there anyone else? So to come down to London and just…
I feel like everywhere in London I felt like accepted. I feel like, I feel like there’s so many different types of people here that no one really bats an eyelid.
Is very, just very accepting of who, whoever enters her doors
ah, but like, you know what I mean?
Like no matter what your tribe is, you can find your tribe.
Life is different now. I’m very much trying to still power on through being normal and having a normal life
yeah, I feel like people might have let this in, like, oh my God, he’s a Netflix star.
and I’m quite happy to have a chinwag
I can’t imagine what it must have been like for my mum to come to
to the UK, like to a completely different culture, language, with like three kids on your back and nothing else, and then just like, start life.
I mean, we’ve got immigrant parents. We know that that’s like they’re heroes!
I had never felt so, like relatable to like the people around me. I was like, oh my God, I can really, fully and truly connect to all this plethora of people around me in this
this city
like, you know what I mean? We’re all having that. We’ve all got a shared experience. It was just amazing.
