I’m the eldest of three boys, and was raised by a single parent. Growing up, I was always entrusted with looking after my brothers. I guess I was deputy parent of some sort. One way to cope with this task was to take them along to the youth centre, where kids enjoyed playing different sports. As a result, my childhood was fun, active and free because the only time I could arrive home past sunset was when I was returning from the soccer field or gym. This instilled a sense of responsibility in me.
I was born in Kinshasa, the capital of D R Congo as the son of a diamond merchant. I was the eldest of 10 children. I’ve been passionate about sport since childhood, practicing karate, judo, football and athletics (100m, 200m, 400m and javelin throw).
In 2017, I obtained a diploma in physical medicine and rehabilitation, at the University of Kinshasa. I’m also a certified physical trainer.
