Which neighbourhood are you in?
At present, I reside on the east side of Montreal, specifically in the Anjou area. However, this neighbourhood is relatively new to me, and I did not grow up here. I originally hail from Greenbelt, Maryland, a place that holds deep personal significance for me. The memories and experiences I gained there have shaped who I am, and the community in Greenbelt will always be dear to my heart.
What do you do?
Whenever I am asked this question I laugh because I am a multifaceted individual with a passion for exploring a wide range of creative endeavours. I find fulfilment and joy in pursuing diverse projects, including styling, vlogging, fashion design, creative direction, content creation, and much more. My versatile skill set allows me to continuously push boundaries and express myself in various forms. Above all, I aim to inspire others to embrace their authentic selves and live unapologetically, staying true to who they are and giving 100% of themselves in everything they do.
What are you currently working on?
I am currently focused on building and refining my portfolio through various projects, including photoshoots, styling gigs, creative direction, and more. Essentially, I’m dedicating this time to personal growth, striving to improve myself for a better tomorrow. The projects I’m working on are designed to reflect my vulnerability and tell the story of my journey—highlighting where I come from, the challenges I’ve faced, and the experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today.
Where can we find your work?
I maintain an active presence across several platforms to share different aspects of my life and creative journey. On YouTube, I go by “mbintou,” where I vlog about my daily lifestyle and offer behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process. On Instagram, you can find me under “b7ntou,” where I showcase my outfits and lifestyle. I also engage with my audience on TikTok (b7ntou), where I share a blend of both lifestyle content and creative endeavours.
