Belonging is a personal exploration of what it means to live between cultures while constantly searching for a place to feel seen.

Written from my experience as a mixed-race French woman living in Denmark for over a decade, the book reflects on identity, visibility, loneliness, race, creativity, and the emotional tension of existing between different worlds. Through intimate essays and observations, I explore how living abroad can slowly reshape the way we perceive ourselves, our bodies, our language, and our sense of belonging.

This is not a guide about how to fit in.
It is a reflection on what happens when you stop trying to shrink yourself in order to belong.

Throughout the book, I question the silent social structures that shape exclusion and visibility, while also exploring how art became a way for me to reconnect with myself. Creating images, writing, and telling stories allowed me to transform feelings of isolation into something shared and meaningful.

Belonging resonates with readers who have experienced:

• living abroad

• cultural in-between spaces

• mixed-race identity

• loneliness

• displacement

• invisibility

• the search for self-definition

More than a memoir, the book became the beginning of an ongoing conversation around identity and belonging, connecting readers from different countries and backgrounds through shared emotional experiences.
