A little about me
I’m angie
I'm an actor, filmmaker with an interest in cinematography, and a documenter of life.
Why
'NO NATION'?
The name was inspired by that feeling of existential displacement I’ve struggled with since leaving home in 2018—a tension that sharpened every time I travelled between Kenya and the UK. Returning home was like reaching for a familiar melody only to realize the notes have shifted; the place is the same, but I’m not, and the ache of that disconnect lingered.
Meanwhile, the UK remained a bittersweet paradox: a place where I’d planted roots yet still felt like a guest in my own life. This limbo was and still is its own kind of grief—neither here nor there, forever oscillating between two versions of myself. But there’s also a strange freedom in it, a clarity that comes from belonging nowhere and everywhere at once. The name, in the end, is a testament to the in-between, to the identity forged not in place but in the act of movement itself.
Despite what it sounds like, ‘No Nation’ isn’t an abandonment of heritage—it’s an acknowledgment of the displacement that fuels my art and my way of moving through the world. It’s the quiet tension between roots and flight, grief and gratitude, that pushes me to look beyond myself. This liminal space, though restless, has become a compass: it reminds me to cherish the beautiful souls who’ve crossed my path, and to find home not in borders, but in the act of creation and connection itself.
Great art is both window and mirror
