Our Founder
Growing up between cultures—with roots in Angola and Portugal, and now calling London home for over a decade—I've always been fascinated by the stories that connect us across places and generations.
As a visual artist and Tour Director, I’ve explored identity, belonging, and the beauty of shared experience. But time and again, I noticed how Black heritage within European history was either invisible or told as an afterthought.
That realisation inspired me to create NJILA, a space where travel becomes a bridge between cultures. In Kimbundu, Njila means road, a symbol of the shared paths we walk in search of connection, history, and belonging. A journey I'm now privileged to share with our guests inviting you to explore with purpose and celebrating the stories and communities that continue to shape our world today.
