Meet Mina Dia-Stevens
Lead Creative & Founder
From birth to the present day, I have lived between continents and enjoyed the best of two cultural worlds.
My life as a Senegalese-American Creative is guided by my unique upbringing.
It is the amazing work of Senegalese artisans.
It is absorbing the colorful florals and fragrances of my Tante's garden; fresh with limes and brilliant red hibiscus flowers.
It's the clear blue waves crashing against the sides of the pirogue as the small, narrow boats dash across the Atlantic from mainland Dakar to the petite island of N’Gor.
It is the sounds, excitement, and colors of the “car rapide” traveling throughout the streets.
It's the ferry’s engine slowing, and the small ship nearing the island of Goree, as my eyes quickly scan the rushing waves and envision the faces of the lost lives of the middle passage.
These are the cherished memories of my childhood in Senegal.
All of this greatly influences my dream to share...Home, Love, Family, and Afrique with you.
This is Royal Fulani Living.
Bienvenue Beloved!
"If someone had told me at 20 that I would feel this professionally and personally fulfilled as I do today at 50, I would not have believed them. My path to contentment could not have arrived without risk. Some risks I chose, and some risks were inevitable. Both have finally allowed me to fully submerge into who I desire to be as a woman, wife, mother, and Creative of color."
"Imposter Syndrome caused my confidence to waver; which kept me in a mode of “fake it till you make it”; which I realized was a self-destructive mindset to have as a Creative. I had to lean into knowing that the value of my work, and who I am as a Creative does not lie in the applause, the accolades or seeking approval.
Instead, I learned to focus on the pure joy that my creativity brings me and to share that joy with the world with zero expectations."

"I already have a beautiful tablecloth from Royal Fulani and am so excited to get these placemats now. My tablecloth is incredibly well-made and has withstood a busy household with four kids and I’ve gotten many compliments on it!"
