"Après avoir échangé longuement sur ce qu’on voulait développer dans notre journal on a très vite vu qu’on était sur la même longueur d’onde et qu’on avait en face de nous une agence qui était très sensible à la cause de la communauté noire de France et notamment à la démarche entrepreneuriale . En plus de ce cette vision identique, Muna a fait par la suite partie plus qu’intégrante de BRODA pour en devenir notre rédactrice en chef. Son expérience dans le domaine à été d’une grande aide mais c’est son professionnalisme qui a permis au journal d’être tout de suite crédible auprès de nos lecteurs et différents partenaires."

Lif'B | Broda creators

Print & digital magazine, New Kituba

"Personne très sérieuse, méticuleuse et en meme temps ouverte sur beaucoup de sujets tels que l’Art, le Design, la musique, l’actualité… Ce que j’apprécie chez Muna, c’est son engagement, sa lucidité à voir le monde et pas que sous un seul angle. Elle a récemment écrit un article engagé sur ma résidence à Berlin et ma pratique artistique qui m’a beaucoup plu. Pour finir, elle fait partie de ces rares personnes qui sont capables de travailler sur plusieurs projets et... chose plus rare... de les mener avec succès !"

El Marto

Visual Artist & Illustrator

"The IGR team has worked with the amazing crew of AYA Consulting (founded by fellow island girl Muna Lobé) to make this event happen and we could not be more grateful. This year has been about nurturing our international presence and ensuring that Island Girls throughout the Diaspora are heard, seen and fully represented in all we do. The support has been so beautiful and we are truly further motivated to keep telling our stories  in as many ways as possible. We are growing, we are evolving and we are grateful."

Island Girls Rock

Caribbean Non Profit Organisation

"Muna provided the perfect balance between the structure of a project manager meanwhile accommodating the fluidity that comes with working with artists. Throughout the entire process of hosting the “Dreaming Whilst Black” Season Finale in Paris, Muna accommodated our needs as well as promoted us in regions that we would not have reached otherwise. We enjoyed the atmosphere and energy at all three sponsored events which was largely due to her organisation and marketing. Nine months have passed and we are still benefitting from those efforts. We would definitely look forward to collaborating with her again in the future."

Adjani Salmon

Producer, Writer & Actor

"Working with Muna and her collaborators has been a great experience as she helped me shape this project in a way that would best resonate in Kingston (Jamaica), and have a better impact locally. Indeed, Muna is a person who knows how to listen and thoroughly understand someone’s vision. Her practical suggestions enrich the creative process. She thinks and works really fast and is definitely resourceful in terms of meeting demands and solving problems. Very quickly, she mounted a very clear proposal, both coherent and aesthetically pleasing. Muna is a well-travelled anthropologist and an outspoken humanist who has the confidence and ability to eloquently develop and articulate thoughts and ideas, but who also has enough humility to constantly question facts and truths, including the ones she holds dear."

Alexis Peskine

Visual Artist & Photographer

"AYA Consulting set up preliminary meetings to gauge my interest, seriousness and ultimate vision for what I was trying to build. We carefully began crafting a vision for my dance initiatives, grounded in a keen understanding of what I wanted and how I saw myself in the future. In contracting with AYA to create my brand, although it was completely client-led, I felt the freedom to wholly embrace any insight, ideas and critiques that came by way of the consultancy. Muna and her team are an invaluable entity. Smart, savvy and stylish, they make you feel like you are part of the team. They are thorough and dedicated and, most of all, genuine. They fully avail themselves to the client’s process to advance the cause and they do so with such grace. Anyone who has the pleasure of working with AYA will only be better off.”
