My blog: Reappearance is the curated work of a multicultural writer passionate about decolonizing science and medicine.
It’s the intimate, emotional, academic and historical labor of a doctor in pharmaceutical science, pharma regulatory executive born in Paris, France, to parents born in colonized French Congo. It aims to educate patient advocates, healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical executives, decolonization scholars, and curious citizens through emotional and rational intelligence.

Me: I love how humanity’s diverse cultures and sciences intersect. I excel in multidimensional logic.
My cultural heritage curator mother immigrated to Soviet Russia, and my Sikh architect father raised us in Indian Dharmic philosophy along with our traditional Catholic, Protestant, Animist, and Atheist influences. I can think in different contexts and meet people where they are.
Seeing reality from a diverse perspective is in my DNA. Eight generations ago, our ancestors fled transatlantic human trafficking in nineteenth-century Angola (then in the Kingdom of Kongo). Since then, each generation has been born in a different place. I, myself, lived in several countries and traveled the world, letting my multicultural decolonized gaze shape the deep perception of reality I have today.

This rich experience fostered my global leadership, creative problem-solving, and cross-cultural interpersonal skills. It also carved deep empathy into my scientific writing. More than an academic, I consider myself a doctor in life and authentic human experience.
