Personal Background
editOnline Career
editAlthough Joelle Kinia joined YouTube on May 29, 2020,[3]she only started uploading videos in late July 2020.[4]
Joelle Kinia’s First YouTube Video
editJoelle Kinia’s first video, titled “GEORGE FLOYD A VIOLÉ UNE FEMME AVANT SA MORT?! 😱😱”, was published in July 2020. In this video, she addresses a viral misinformation campaign that falsely accused George Floyd of assaulting a woman before his death.[5]
Joelle begins by welcoming her audience to her video series “Inspiration De La Semaine" (Inspiration of the Week), designed to explore new topics with viewers. She then debunks a widely circulated Facebook post in France that claimed George Floyd had assaulted and kidnapped a woman during a robbery in the United States.[6] The post, which featured a photograph of a severely injured woman, was intended to tarnish Floyd’s image and undermine the Black Lives Matter movement.
Joelle clarifies that the woman in the photograph was actually a different victim, Andrea Sicignano, an American living in Madrid, who was attacked in Spain in December 2018.[7] She explains that Sicignano herself publicly denounced the misuse of her image to spread false information about George Floyd.[8]
In conclusion, Joelle Kinia urges her viewers to report such misleading posts and to spread the truth to honor George Floyd’s memory.[9]

She originally launched her TikTok journey with the account @joellekinia while she was based in Senegal. However, due to TikTok’s monetization policies, which excluded Senegal from eligible regions for revenue generation, Joelle strategically decided to create a new account, @mukotagang, while in the UK, allowing her to tap into monetization opportunities. As her brand evolved, she made a key decision to rebrand her accounts: @joellekinia was renamed to @joelle_kinia, and @mukotagang took over the @joellekinia handle.
