About

I'm Julien, a husband, father of six incredible children, and an entrepreneur driven by a mission to inspire and connect. My mixed heritage and experiences living in Africa, Europe, and now the U.S. have shaped a unique perspective on diversity and inclusion, turning differences into connections.

​

Together with my wife, we founded Move Dance Family, one of Texas's top-ranked dance studios. With over a decade in operation, we've ignited a passion for dance in over 400 hearts, establishing a legacy of excellence, creativity, and community. Our studio's longstanding reputation has made it a beacon for dancers of all ages and backgrounds, nurturing talents and dreams. I also took on the leadership of "More Than Dancers," enhancing an online platform where dancers can grow, thrive, and connect across diverse experiences.

​

Born in the Congo and forced to flee war at age 12, my journey from Belgium to the USA on a basketball scholarship is a testament to resilience. Even after serious sports injuries, I earned an MBA, discovered a passion for entrepreneurship, and became a voice of leadership and community building. As a college professor, podcast host, and entrepreneur, I've shared wisdom on resourcefulness, innovation, and connection.

​

Alongside my loving wife, Mallorie, we turned a dream into reality with Move Dance Family. My story extends as an author, an emerging speaker, and a transformative life coach. My multicultural background and immigrant experience in the U.S. have equipped me with unique insights into success, empowerment, and the human spirit's incredible potential.
