In their own words
I came to Seoul in 2016 with a vision: to prove that Korean beauty could transform global markets not through trends, but through authentic storytelling, cultural respect, and radical inclusivity.
Born in Paris to Senegalese parents, raised between Africa and Europe, and shaped by a decade in New York, I carried one truth with me to Korea: mainstream beauty had never seen people like me. That gap became my mission.
Through AGASKIN, I've built a bridge between Korean beauty excellence and underserved global communities. Over seven years, we've partnered with 100+ Korean brands and positioned Seoul's K-beauty across global markets including the US, Africa, UK, and France — regions that were historically invisible to the beauty industry.
But this isn't just business. It's activism.
