Who is Francine?
Bilingual FR - EN | Intergenerational Community Builder | Strategic Partnerships Consultant | Global Peace Ambassador | 2024 Community In Action Honoree | Ron Dyce’s Global Muse
Born in Cameroon and now based in Canada, I carry with me the values of community, storytelling, and resilience. Growing up in Africa taught me to see challenges as stepping stones to growth. Canada gave me the space to become a thought leader, community builder, and strategist — helping people and ideas flourish. I help people and organizations grow through empathy, strategy, and connection. Outside of work, I recharge through creativity — in art, music, and meaningful conversation.
I lead with warmth,
clarity, and purpose
I like to think of my life as a tapestry,
woven from the rich experiences
Behind every bold initiative is a clear strategy rooted in empathy and systems thinking. I share my framework for creating meaningful impact — from concept to community change. You’ll find the principles, partnerships, and practices that guide my work across sectors.
