Following her modelling achievements, she enjoyed further success. In 2021, she passed the entrance exam for the Centre d’Etudes des Sciences et Techniques de l’Information (CESTI)’s radio journalism course. She is a lively and curious young journalist with a refreshing on-air presence. Her warm, confident voice is clear and precise, capturing the listener’s attention from the very first seconds. With just the right depth and a slightly velvety quality, she delivers information at a controlled pace that keeps audiences engaged. She exudes a calm energy and insatiable curiosity in the world of journalism, approaching facts with rigour and humanity. She has already gained a great deal of experience. Princia recounts: “One of the best experiences was when I was in the countryside. It was a wonderful discovery and a beautiful experience. The worst experience happened in my second year of my bachelor’s degree at CESTI. It was a Thursday morning and I was running late for school, so I took the local car rapide, or ‘fast bus’. As I was about to get off, the driver suddenly accelerated, even though I was already at the door and ready to disembark. I fell and ripped my trousers. It was a terrible day.
She has also acquired important values. “Coming to Senegal first brought me closer to God through prayer. It has taught me patience, adaptability, perseverance, independence and the importance of being open to others.” In her host country, she has found a second family. She has many acquaintances, but very few close friends. However, she says that among those friends, “there are some who have really become like family to me”. She sees migration as a challenging yet enriching experience. “It has allowed me to adapt to a new environment that was very different from my own, become more autonomous and independent, and, above all, learn to see things from a different perspective. It has changed my view of the world and my life plan.” For her, being a foreign student in Senegal means having opportunities, discovering a welcoming culture, and building a rich, diverse network of contacts. The greatest outcome of her move to Senegal is her marriage: “I never thought I would marry a Senegalese man.
At one point, I even swore I would never do so. I preferred to marry someone from Central Africa… Then, one Sunday at church, I fell in love with a Senegalese man – my future husband. Now I have a completely different view of marriage and Senegalese men. In fact, I am ready to apply for Senegalese nationality. I am determined to follow this path that has transformed me”.
