Kadiatou Dialo, born in Guinea in 1993, lives in Brussels-City, has Guinean and Senegalese roots and works as a career counsellor. Speaks five languages. Came to Brussels from Germany in 2023, but has already lived in nine countries in Africa and Europe.

Loves Matonge where she can also find certain products. Brussels for her is the multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism, the green lungs like the Bois de la Cambre and the Sonian Forest, but also segregated communities and gentrification. She thinks the arrival of tram 10 is a very good thing.

Is bilingual and proud of the diversity and multiculturalism of the city where she has lived all her life. She finds it an inspiration for openness. She is also concerned about poverty and homelessness. She enjoys going to Couleur Café and the Bois de la Cambre. A great tradition she sees in Brussels is Epiphany with cake competitions between bakers.

Loved the friendliness, helpfulness and openness of Brussels ever since, especially compared to Paris. But sees that changed a lot in those 20 years. She loves her neighbourhood like Josaphat Park and Jazz Station in Schaerbeek.
