Gloria Victoire is a Congolese-born French scholar and oral historian with a deep passion for exploring cultural identity within the African diaspora.

Raised in France, Gloria has always navigated between different worlds—her Congolese heritage and the French culture she grew up in. Her current project, "Am I My Culture’s Keeper?", delves into the complexities of cultural preservation, belonging, and the transmission of heritage among African diasporic communities. Gloria’s work is deeply influenced by her own experiences of navigating identity, tradition, and self-expression, making her a powerful advocate for the preservation of oral histories and cultural legacies.

Gloria earned a dual degree in Art History and Anthropology, and later pursued a Master’s degree in Political Science and Oral History at Columbia University.
