She is the daughter of Joseph Kasa-Vubu, who was the first president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
She was a candidate in the Congolese presidential elections of July 2006, in which she only obtained 0.44% of the votes in the first round.
After the death of her father and the taking of power by Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, she went into exile with the rest of her family first to Algeria and afterwards to Switzerland, where she finished her studies. She finished living in Belgium and there graduated from the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL). She worked in Ginebra for the High Commissioner for the Refugees of the UN. She went back to Belgium to continue her work in the Centre of Investigation on the epidemiology of natural disasters and in Central African studies of the Free University of Brussels (ULB).
In 1991, she joined the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) of Étienne Tshisekedi, the main opposition party to Joseph Mobutu. On 22 May 1997, she was appointed minister of the Civil Service in the first government of Laurent-Désiré Kabila. She was appointed ambassador of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Belgium. She resigned after disagreements with Laurent-Désiré Kabila.
In 2013, she was a member of the Mouvement des Démocrates party. Unlike other opposition parties, she was prepared to talk with Kabila.
