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.
