My name is Yema-Maryse and I am a Gambian-American. I have lived in the States for over 22 years. Before that, as the daughter of Diplomatic parents, I travelled widely throughout West and East Africa, residing in many Francophone countries in the diaspora. I am Bilingual (English & French) and really want to get back to networking and socializing with other expat professionals.
I tend to be shy by nature, but I am very much at home and enjoy being around other international globally-minded individuals from different countries especially those that espouse "La Francophonie"!
