YVES: FASHION DESIGNER
Yves escaped war torn Burundi at 15 and arrived in the Netherlands. He was one of only a couple of black kids at the school and learnt the language and how to succeed. He now owns an event space in Amsterdam and works as a fashion designer.
He no longer identifies himself as a refugee but as someone who has succeeded.
