Hello i'm LouBNa

You'll find here some of my stories, my researchs, my hobbies, my obsessions, my thoughts and my questions.Passionate about storytelling and art, I grew up in a family of artists and music lovers, which from an early age nurtured in me a deep sensitivity to expression, movement, and transmission. Dance has always been a vital form of language for me — a way to explore, understand, and narrate.At 19, I moved to London to pursue journalism studies. This immersion in the British capital was transformative, offering me exceptional exposure to its multicultural wealth, learning about Nigerian, Ghanaian, Indian, Jamaican,South African... cultures through my friends and the city’s landscape. It was also how my passion for Afro-urban dance deepened, sparked by the rise of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and their many dance expressions we started seeing in London at the time.Dance soon became a natural extension of my journalistic work. It offered a sensitive and embodied lens through which to observe the identity, social, and cultural dynamics of the diasporas and other many other social groups. I’ve had the opportunity to lead and take part in artistic projects focused underrepresented cultures, and marginal forms of expression.In parallel, my work as a communicator has been shaped by a desire to build cultural bridges, convey meaningful messages, and create spaces for dialogue and emotion. Whether through editorial strategy, content creation, or cultural and artistic project management, I approach each mission with sensitivity, creativity, and authenticity.Over time, I also discovered that my mother’s side of the family carries a healer’s heritage — a lineage expressed through music, trance, and spiritual practice, particularly within the Gnawa tradition. This deepened my connection to dance and music as sacred, ancestral tools for healing, memory, and resistance.My Moroccan, Sahrawi, Somali, and Yemeni roots are central to my journey. I express them fully through dance, but also in the way I write, share stories, and engage with others. My professional commitment sits at the intersection of journalism, art, and cultural memory — both personal and collective.
