Faustina can best be described as simple, humble and spirited, self-motivated achiever.

When Faustina arrived in UK, she quickly was moved to do something about the heavy negative media narrative about Africa, Black people and especially women of colour. She immediately began her first blog promoting the positive attributes and achievements of Black women. On discovering that so many Black women had small businesses and needed help with PR and branding. The blog was converted to a PR and branding agency, now MBW PR.
