About me

I'm currently a member of the Zone 34 collective, taking acting workshops with Sei Shiomi and Jill Gagé. I'm about to shoot my first short film and I'll be a lawyer on stage in "The Jury Experience - Taxi and AI". I also have some writing projects on the go.

In 2017, I played Hawa Ntep in Patriot (Amazon Prime). In 2019, I starred in Sarah Arlen's auteur film TWICE. From 2020 to 2021, I played the grandiose Joséphine Baker in the musical What the Femmes! 
I then left corporate life for good (after working for almost 10 years in the media industry, at Canal+ and then Vivendi, as Social Media Manager and International Content Creator, then as Head of Worldwide CSR Communications).
From June 2021 to January 2022, I joined the team of Plus Belle La Vie (France TV) as Kalya Diawara. I then went on to play at the theater for 5 months: Wanda in Franck Le Hen's Bonjour Ivresse (5 dates) and Amandine in Les Fourberies de Copains (46 dates). I then started in the tv show Broute 24 (Canal+).

My other loves:
I can mention my humorous video column “Le Moment de Grâce” (several million views on social media (@pangaatv)). There's also my podcast “États de Grâce”, which talks about mental well-being with humor and lightness (it was mentioned by Marie Claire magazine as a reference on the subject). I hosted the Bpifrance documentary series "En Immersion" on entrepreneurship - all episodes are available on Youtube. Finally, I do voice work (dubbing, voice over, audio book, documentary commentary; trained by Le Magasin).

More about me:
I'm a singer (blues, folk pom, acoustic pop, jazz, gospel).
I have a master's degree in communications and creative industries from Sciences Po Paris.

Professional background

J’ai étudié à Sciences Po Paris et je suis comédienne autodidacte. Depuis septembre 2023, je suis les ateliers d’acting respectifs de Sei Shiomi et Jill Gagé au collectif Zone 34. J’ai travaillé dans des projets très divers qui ont été de superbes écoles : séries télé françaises et internationale, film d’auteur, pièces de théâtre et comédies musicales. Je viens d’écrire et réaliser mon premier court-métrage auto produit. J’ai d’ailleurs actuellement plusieurs projets d’écriture.
