Ahmed Tijani Country of Origin: Ghana My Outstanding Story I am Ahmed Tijani Kassim, better known as @africanstjay on my content creation journey, a visionary creative on a mission to empower, inspire and eradicate the negative stereotypes of Africa in the western world and bridge the gap between Africa and other continents through my artistry. Born and raised in Ghana, my journey is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. From a young age, I exhibited a profound love for media broadcasting and creativity, which ultimately led me to start my own company known as Tijani groups, a company which includes Afrocentric clothing production, A natural drink production company, A media creative hub, etc. I studied Textiles Science And Technology With A Speciality in Chemistry for my degree And Currently Studying For MSc in chemical science. I have a deep creative passion in visual art specifically, painting and interest in music My Personal Insights and inspirations... Driven by a deep rooted desire to make a positive impact, I infuse my work with authenticity, empathy, and cultural richness. My unique perspective reflects a fusion of my Ghanaian heritage and global experiences, capturing the essence of humanity in its purest form. Through my art, I strive to break barriers, challenge perceptions, and foster connection across borders. Some cultural and personal influences that play a role in my journey has a lot to do with my background as a member of a royal family in Ghana and my parental upbringing as well. Growing up in a multicultural environment has shaped my artistic style and my desire to explore themes of identity, belonging, and cultural heritage in my work. One challenge I have encountered in my artistic journey is balancing the expectations of my cultural community with my own creative vision. At times, there is pressure to conform to traditional norms and styles, but I have learned to stay true to my own artistic voice and incorporate elements of my cultural background in a way that feels authentic to me. My aspirations and goals as a diaspora member and creative are to continue creating meaningful and thought-provoking content that resonates with audiences from diverse backgrounds. I hope to use my platform to amplify marginalized voices and bring awareness to important social issues. In the future, I see my work evolving to encompass a wider range of mediums and reaching the world . I aspire to collaborate with other creatives from different backgrounds and cultures to create innovative and impactful projects that challenge societal norms and inspire change. I believe that my unique perspective as a diaspora member will continue to shape my artistic journey and drive me to create work that is both personal and universal in its themes. Holder of prestigious awards... My talent has not gone unnoticed, earning me accolades and recognition on both local and international stages. My innovative approach to entrepreneurship has garnered prestigious awards, including the Ghanaian Creative Excellence Award and the African Artistic Visionary Prize. These honors serve as a testament to my dedication and creativity in pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. Project 101 Outreach in Ghana Beyond artistic endeavors, I am a passionate advocate for social change and youth empowerment. Through my groundbreaking initiative, Project 101 Outreach, I am making a tangible difference in the lives of less privileged children across Ghana. By providing access to education, mentorship, and creative resources, Project 101 is breaking the cycle of poverty and nurturing the next generation of leaders and innovators. My journey as @africanstjay embodies the transformative power of creativity and compassion. From humble beginnings in Ghana 🇬🇭 to global impact as a creative force, my story serves as an inspiration to dreamers and doers everywhere. With each brushstroke and each act of kindness, I continue to leave an indelible mark on the world, shaping a brighter future for generations to come. Connect with me on instagram as AfricansTjay, subscribe to my YouTube channel @africansTjay, check out my business page on instagram: Tijani groups. ...My message for emerging diaspora members: It’s now or never , be authentic to yourself and accept no one’s definition of you. @africansTjay

Laure a.k.a "Mademoiselle Fesch" Country of Origin: France Biggest achievement: My son, he helps me grow every day into a better and more patient person. Favorite quote : "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak" Best quality: Spreading my energy and enthusiasm to others. My Outstanding Story Bonjour , I'm Laure, your French personal stylist. It's not just about fashion for me—it's about care and dedication to helping you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. How my creative journey started... Growing up, like many, I faced my fair share of bullies. It wasn't easy, and it made me empathize deeply with those who felt out of place due to society's beauty standards. My journey into style and self-expression began around 13 or 14. While everyone else rocked white sneakers, I boldly sported blue ones, refusing to hide who I was. It took me years to embrace my unique path. Even as I dove into personal styling, echoes of my teenage struggles lingered. But life had a funny way of leading me back to my passion. From styling with secondhand clothes for a zero-waste project in Austria to founding Mademoiselle Fesch , my focus has always been on helping women feel amazing in their own skin. Like many in my circle, I have roots from other countries despite being French. My grandfather hailed from southern Portugal. This aspect of my heritage has perhaps influenced my insatiable curiosity about people's lives and experiences. I truly believe there's so much to learn from others if we just keep an open mind. My proudest moment is... I think my proudest moments come from the reviews my customers leave about the service. Also, I won a competition organized by a styling school in Paris (ESR Paris), which was based on the Netflix series "Worn Stories. About my inspirations I don't think I can pinpoint just one person who has inspired me. I've met loads of amazing women in different situations, and it's their ongoing journeys that really get me fired up. Although, I have to say, my grandmother, Marthe, wasn't a businesswoman or anything, but she always encouraged me to push forward. After she passed away, I began delving deeper into my stylist journey. Her death was a wake-up call in various aspect of my life. It started with a blog named after her, and a few years later, I launched my own business. The challenges...we all face them! Here are mines... Before starting my business, I faced my fair share of challenges, mainly stemming from my insecurities. I kept postponing, thinking I could always do better . But eventually, I overcame those doubts. With each step, I grew more confident, realizing the genuine impact I could have on my customers' lives, making them feel good along the way. About engaging with community and contributing to cultural preservation I'm not big on social media, but I thrive in face-to-face interactions. I love meeting people personally through consultations, local events. It's all about connecting on a real level for me . My way to contribute to cultural promotion—keeping it personal and down-to-earth. My aspirations as a Diaspora member I aspire to empower more women in the future by providing them with the tools to manage their image and communicate who they are without fear of judgment. ...an advice for emerging diaspora members: Embrace your uniqueness, for it is the essence of your beauty http://www.mademoiselle-fesch.at
