Hot of the Press

Lecture at the University of Sierra Leone
Sharing Knowledge & Inspiring the Next Generation! 🎓✨

I had the incredible opportunity to give a lecture on Architecture Studies to prospective students at the University of Sierra Leone! 🇸🇱🏛️

It was amazing to share insights on the journey of studying architecture, the creative challenges, and the exciting possibilities within the field. Seeing the enthusiasm and curiosity from the students was truly inspiring!

I’m passionate about empowering the next generation of architects and creatives, and I look forward to more opportunities to give back. 💡✍🏾

Why I’m a “Blessed Girl” (And You Are Too)

The first quarter of 2026 felt a little underwhelming. BijouCREATES has been up and down — and honestly, so have I. Feeling unsure of the next move, the next direction. But then I thought… screw it. I’m not just coping — I’m building, expanding, becoming. And even in the chaos, I had to pause and realise how fortunate I am to be doing what I once dreamed of. Not just lucky. Blessed.
