Who Are We?
I Know a Place is a cultural agency bridging legacy, leadership, and life design.
We create decentralized spaces — physical and narrative — where culture, wellness, technology, and hospitality intersect.
Guided by family values, shared leadership, and reciprocity, our work prioritizes long-term vision over short-term trends.
Through gatherings, media, and strategic collaborations, we translate ideas into grounded, living work — systems designed to be felt, lived, and passed on.
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.
