Meet Nsimba: the identical twin of Nzuzi! ✨ Nsimba was the reason his brother and him were taken out of the DR Congo.
As a young child, Nsimba was badly burned and blinded. When his burns become infected, he was taken to a missionary hospital…and then “rescued” to France. The only reason Nzuzi came with him is because he absolutely refused to leave his brother’s side in the hospital.
Orphaned and badly scarred, Nsimba never really made friends growing up—despite a silly and social personality. His education was minimal, but he eventually taught himself English through podcasts and articles—meaning he’s trilingual (Lingala, French, and English). Although, he’s illiterate in all three.
Having no career prospects, his young adult life was mostly spent stuck indoors—working out and listening to audio stories.
At the pestering of Nzuzi (and once he qualifies for disability aid), he eventually attends a school for the blind…which leads to him finally breaking out of his isolation and depression.
