Dieynaba Sidibé (born July 2, 1990), popularly known as Zeinixx, is a Senegalese slam poet, graffiti artist and activist.
== Early years and education == Sidibé was born in the suburbs of Thiaroye station and grew up in Dakar. When she was a child, she often spent her pocket money on drawing materials. Her mother was against her becoming an artist and so one day she threw away all Sidibé's paints. She wanted her daughter to become a doctor instead. Sidibé however continued painting. Sidibé discovered graffiti on the TV when she was 17. Sidibé was influenced by her father, a calligrapher, who introduced her to the aesthetic possibilities of lettering and script from an early age.
