My Starbucks name is Emma

And my real name is Manon.

When I pronounce it aloud, the foundations of my identity are instantly laid out. The accent - quintessentially British. The name - unapologetically French.

My life has been a constant shift between these two cultures. Yet, I was born and trapped into a creative household  - A mother who acts, a stepfather who composes, and a father who chased headlines. 

With that legacy, the creative path wasn't just expected. It was (regrettably) inevitable.
