Don't stay in your place!

"I am not has the place has which my birth should have led me to. Yet, I feel more than ever to my place. I am happy, me, the daughter of the people from the Parisian working class world, the daughter of the colonized, the black woman, the Muslim woman, to be able to be in a place where no one expected me.

Halfway between an autobiography and a personal development guide, the author, born in working-class Paris in the late 1970s, gives us an authentic story by retracing her journey as an inspiring woman. She managed to escape her condition, to mobilize all her resources to elevate herself socially and intellectually and to nourish herself from the many encounters she was able to provoke.

Having now become a media personality at the heart of French public debate, Rokhaya Diallo sheds light with a sincere and singular voice on her positions - often misinterpreted or distorted - in order to show that the sources of our strength are within us.
