I always traveled. I left Cameroon when I was 11 years old. I lived in the USA, in Switzerland.

I was practically born in Cameroon; my family moved there when I was two weeks old.

I grew up in different parts of Africa. I grew up in Mozambique and places like that. I've been in South Africa many times.

From 1971 to 1993, my family lived in a number of African countries, including Malawi, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Nigeria, as well as Uganda itself.

My grandparents on my father's side came to this country from the Caribbean with a strong connection to Africa and no shame about it.

I've been to North Africa many times.

I've spent quite a bit of time in East Africa.

I do go back to Brazil once a year. I miss my family.

I'm a member of the African diaspora: my parents left the Caribbean and came to London for a better life.

People wonder why I love Africa so much. I say this is where I was born and raised. My roots are in Africa; that's were I developed.
