The Congolese model that’s making waves…

Born in Lubumbashi, Dem. Republic of Congo to a Congolese mother and Cypriot father this African model is making waves as she is being compared to the likes of Supermodel Kate Moss,

Noellla moved to Belgium to live with her aunt at the young age of 5 after the death of her father. She later moved to Switzerland to complete her education.

With future plans to establish businesses in Congo and Africa there’s no stopping this 24 year old intelligent and hardworking individual.

With recent appearances in Cosmopolitan magazine and the new Chris Rock movie” I think I love my wife” this young woman is destined for more success.

Her views on Congo and Africa as a whole...

"Africa is my roots, it is where I was born, I come from the Democratic Republic of Congo and even if I did not spend most of my life on its soil, I have a deep sense of attachment towards it. My latest trip to Africa that took me to Cote d’Ivoire and the Congo has been very emotional. I feel like we need to embrace each other more and that is what I am trying to do with the public as well as in my professional life. I work with Africans from different nationalities, some Ivorians, Nigerians, Senegalese, Congolese, Mauritanians, and Ghanaians etc. It is only right that I come on Afriville and engage a dialogue with the community."

“In June I had the opportunity of speaking at the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Independence Day celebrations in Brussels and that was a bid honor”

The Latino Carnival (Carnaval Del Puebl )


Today I went with friends to the Carnaval Del Puebl,
The Largest Latin American Event in Europe, in Burgess
Park. Not only was it one of the most hottest summer
days we’ve had in London but the all round vibe and
ambiance was spectacular.
There were Floats and dance rhythms inspired by the
carnivals of Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia,Cuba,El
Salvador
, Mexico and Peru amongst others
It was my first time attending and being someone who
loves to explore new cultures I can say I’ll def be
going back next year
:)
