So here’s my story. After living and traveling all over the world-Paris, Dakar, Mauritius, Vienna, New York, Lisbon-… as a child with my West African parents, I decided to settle down in the Washington, DC area in 2001 and change careers. In 2012 On the Purple Couch was born in the Washington DC area. I would love to meet you and connect. Let's work together...bahia@onthepurplecouch.com
