 I was born and raised in Paris from Senegalese parents. For a long time I thought of myself as a French person, but at some point people would look at me as if I was coming from another country. And that's the moment in my life I started to ask myself and to wonder why people didn't acknowledge the fact that I was French and it was obviously because of the colour of my skin. I was constantly asked where I was from and people would expect me to name another country. And when I said that I was French, they would ask me but before, where were you? And there was no before obviously because I was born in Paris. So I had all the time to justify myself and to make people understand that I was French. So I founded an anti-racist organization in 2007. Its name was Les Indivisibles, the Indivisible which aimed to tackle racism spread over the media. So we created a ceremony which was a parody of the Academy Awards and rewards every year the worst racist sentences authored by public personalities. So it was our way to tackle racism in its very common expression on a daily basis and at the same time to name and change the people who are used to spread those kind of ideas and this ideology. People who are lucky enough to have the ability to express themselves in the public space, they need to be responsible because whenever they make a statement it has a huge influence on the public opinion. So when you hear every day that the immigrants shouldn't be welcomed that Muslim women wearing a hijab are a threat to our culture it translates into attacks on those people. At an individual level you can just, like whenever you hear something racist, at least react. Like not let things go, just react. If you are able to, if you are in a situation where you can react it's something that you should do. And the other thing, I would really encourage people to use social media platforms to raise their voice and to influence people like that. So maybe to connect, it's a way to connect with other people who share the same beliefs and the same will to change the world and it's a very, very efficient way to amplify voices.
