Togolese national, EKOU Koko Queenida Justine, born EDORH, was born in Accra, GHANA. Queenida, as she is affectionately called, is a tireless worker devoted to excellence and carries an unwavering passion for art and social impact.

Here are a few lines that reveal the behind-the-scenes of her life and professional journey.

In 1986, she obtained her Common Entrance Certificate, the equivalent of the CEPD, in Accra, and later moved to Lomé where, in 1997, she earned her BAC II, series GI in Secretarial Studies. Determined to pursue higher education, she enrolled at the Benin Village at the University of Lomé, where she obtained her Higher Technician’s Certificate (BTS) in Commercial and Bilingual Secretarial Studies, followed by a Master’s I degree in Human Resources Management from ISM ADONAÏ.

From 1997 to 1998, she worked simultaneously at CITÉ MAGAZINE as a newspaper editor for one year; at the airline AIR DABIA as a front-desk hostess for nine months; and at BIB Lomé as an Executive Assistant for eight months.

Professional, creative and versatile, Queenida also seized opportunities to strengthen her skills, such as the Capacity Building Workshop for Central Focal Points of the ORSEC Plan organised in October 2008 by UNDP and OCHA.

Despite her numerous professional responsibilities, her passion for art remained intact. In 2019, Queenida decided to devote herself fully to visual art.
