Who Are We?
I Know a Place is a cultural agency bridging cultural legacy and life design.
We create gatherings, programs, and partnerships that bring people together through culture, collaboration, and intention.
Our work centers clarity, cooperation, and long-term vision.
We move through family values, shared leadership, and partnerships that respect reciprocity and legacy.
Through curated dinners, cultural experiences, and strategic collaborations, we take ideas and turn them into grounded, living work that people can feel and build with breathes, and legacy evolves.
Who is She?
Gladys Nyoth, also known as Lost Boi, is a chef, actress, and cultural architect shaping the future of human connection through art, ancestry, and hospitality.
Born in France with roots in the Bassa tribe of Cameroon, she designs experiences that honor memory, legacy, and belonging — blending creative expression with cultural leadership.
Her work spans Los Angeles, the East Coast, and Paris — each location serving as a living map for a future eco-village on her ancestral land, where community, sustainability, and cultural continuity converge.
With over a decade of international experience, she has collaborated with global brands such as Adidas and institutions like Dillard University, integrating cultural intelligence and human storytelling into spaces of transformation.
