ABOUT ME

Meet Binja

Hi, I'm Binja - third-culture African founder building brands
(and a life) across the continent. In public.

01

My Career Path

12 years in Boston. 2 degrees from Northeastern. 7 good years in health tech.

Then 2020 hit and I came home to Kinshasa, because the ecosystem I wanted for creatives wasn't going to build itself.

02

What I do

So I built it. Kivu Brand Architects - we connect global brands to African talent and influence.

I'm also co-founder of Diaspat and Unwomanly Media, because diaspora women shouldn't have to figure out the continent alone.

About Africancocktail

Africancocktail is where it all started and it's still my playground: part business notes, part African realness, part hard-earned life lessons.

I'll tell you what it actually costs, what I'd do differently, and why I refuse to pick between being global and being home. Soft life, hard receipts. That's how I live.

Welcome.
