ABOUT ME
FREESTYLE DANCER
My language is movement and dance, a form of expression I’ve embraced since childhood. From watching Michael Jackson videos at the age of 5 to learning Irish Tap Dancing at 10 and exploring Hip Hop from the age of 13, my dance journey has been diverse. My style is a fusion, reflecting my multicultural background and the places I’ve visited. It’s a vibrant mix of Afro, Latino, Jazz, or Popping, shaped by the music and emotions it evokes. One of my proudest dance moments was choreographing a video with Ghetto Kids in March 2022, which garnered over 10 million views across platforms and earned a feature on Michael Jackson’s official Instagram page.
CONSCIOUS TRAVELLER
Having visited 36 countries since the age of 4, travel has been an integral part of my life. Born in Morocco and raised in the UK, I inherited the travel bug from my mother, who spent 30 years in the travel industry. Advocating for sustainable tourism is a cause close to my heart. I strive to raise awareness about our travel impact and engage in activities that protect the environment, such as tree planting and marine life conservation. I dedicate a large chunk of my time to local communities when I travel, making sure I learn about ancient tribes/practises whilst fostering genuine human interaction.
INHERENT WRITER
Writing is in my genes. My grandfather, Ahmed Sefrioui, was a renowned novelist and a pioneer of French-Moroccan literature. Drawing inspiration from him, I discovered my passion for written expression. In recent years, I’ve delved into medical and travel writing, channelling my passion for storytelling through words. This inclination towards visual storytelling is also influenced by my father, a filmaker.

WHAT I'M UP TO NOW
Community Engagement & Dance
Using my platform, I spearhead initiatives to raise funds and awareness for communities in need. I foster connections with individuals who share a passion for effecting positive change in their communities. To this day, I am deeply involved in teaching dance to individuals of all ages and abilities. During a fulfilling seven-month stint in Africa, I dedicated myself to this. I also volunteered with icandance, a UK-based charity committed to enabling dance expression for children and young adults with disabilities, where I completed a Children Safeguarding course. I've showcased my talents in various dance, private parties, and corporate events and continue to do so.
DFY Content Creation
As a versatile content creator, I bring a diverse range of skills to the table. Beyond dance performances, I specialize in videography and photography for social media – through my lens, I capture the essence of my travels and share them with the world, as I aim to do the same for others. Additionally, my expertise in writing and travel consultancy enables me to guide you on your own seamless journey of purposeful exploration.
TEDx Talks
In 2023, I was privileged to take the stage as a TEDx speaker, where I shared the remarkable journey and profound insights I gained along the way. At the heart of my talk was my ambitious mission: embarking on a solo expedition to explore 13 African countries within a single year. Through this journey, I delved deep into the rich tapestry of African identity, uncovering its diverse cultures, traditions, and narratives.
