Creativity dose with... Sofia El Arabi
Sofia El Arabi, Moroccan, carrying a name that means wisdom in a spirit oscillating between the one of an old 85-year-old woman and a 5-year-old child inside a 36-year-old body. Born and raised in Casablanca, then I studied in South of France, then Paris, Switzerland, traveled around the world…then came back to Casablanca.
