      She learned at the age of five that she had contracted polio. She was not vaccinated because her mother did not have the money to vaccinate her and her brothers.
      From a young age, despite her physical handicap (polio), she participated in cultural events in schools and in church choirs in her native town of Porto-Novo, influenced and trained by her elders, including Vivi l'internationale, the producer André Quenum and M'Pongo Love, also a victim of polio like her.
