Canada gave me a lifetime of experiences, careers, reinventions, and lessons. A jack of many trades, maybe a master of some — or maybe not. But what I am sure of is this: I’m privileged to live in a first-world country. Not because of what I own, but because of my ability to feel, to witness, to speak up, and to choose meaning over material.

 

I’ve chased milestones that left me empty. I’ve celebrated achievements that felt hollow. Life taught me that it’s the stops along the way — the messy, painful, beautiful ones — that shape who we become. Somewhere on that road, I realized my voice had a purpose.

 

From contract work with Live Nation clients being the wellness girl to artists behind the scenes around the world, to navigating the systems of finance and sales, I’ve seen both the human cost and the structural machinery of our modern world. As a holistic practitioner, I’ve learned that healing is never one-dimensional — it requires care for the body, the mind, and the systems we live within.

 

Congo is part of my history, my heartbeat, and my responsibility. I created this foundation to return to the source — to stand for those who are unseen, unheard, and suffering in a land that gives everything to the world.

 

I was named Nseya (“say-yah”) after my aunt, who passed tragically in Congo — a woman I never met, yet whose story lives through me. Knowing she was touched by the atrocities faced there, I now vow to carry this name forward with purpose: to turn its energy into action, to build community, restore humanity, and stand for those who have no voice.

 

That is my promise

— Nseya Ariane Kamba
