A Multi-Faceted Woman
Fatou Kandé Senghor
SenegalGALLERYCONVERSATION
I am from Senegal, I am thirty-two years old, and I am the mother of two little girls. I am Muslim and one of those multifaceted visual artists. I live in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, and I am a pure product of this new generation: a generation of professionals, of career-driven and family-driven young women. We are great lovers of nature, spiritual vibrations, and developing our nation.
