what do you know about the continent
african that do you know of these
different countries and different cities
what do you know about these different
peoples and different cultures
what do you know of his diaspora at
the age of 7 I left my country
natal the ivory coast to go live
with my family in Morocco
from the height of my seven years I had really
can not wait to arrive in Morocco
I thought it was not going to be so
different since I remained all of
even on the same continent
so I could not wait to find out
new country and look forward to discovering a
other part of my continent
arrival to casablanca although yen see yen
So although I was when African
even other others because of my color
other skin because of my accent
French others because of my
Ivorian musical references
Burkinabé Malian
since my childhood was rocked by
ormou sangaré ismaël isaac salif keita
or aicha koné but despite the
cultural differences that exist
between Morocco and Ivory Coast
there the borders are fine and for
historical reasons insignificant
is false
so the rules and customs are wandering
freely finds the link and anchors where
good seems to them to assert itself is transformed
while keeping a common base so at the
Morocco
I was maybe others but I was
always African and that was my base
town
so I grew up with two perspectives
couscous and moroccan tea le bissap
and Czech and braised fish
Ivorian Moroccan hospitality and
the Ivorian atmosphere these two
perspectives have allowed me to see the
world in different ways since in
each of them
I was incomplete I was there but
only half
I stayed ten years of my life at
Morocco then I decided to go
continue my studies
far very far from the sun
palm trees the right temperature
once arrived in montreal my identity
has become more complex identified as being
others in Morocco
you imagine what I’ve become out
from the continent
I will tell you a child lost here
I am going to the African diaspora
I am a fruit from his diasporas
I am made in Africa I am also
capricorn and I have this ambition
7 this need the question a status quo
a status quo that takes the form of a
label that was laid on my
identity the very minute my plane went
took off from the airport month doctor who
landed at that of pierre elliott
trudeau made in africa yes but not
I really explain to you when I
go to Morocco they called me Ivorian
until then everything is fine
when I went on vacation on a hill
ivory I was called the Moroccan and
when i go to france because of my
skin color my name is African
I feel like this naughty toy
the child wants it since no one
actually see the utility that is hiding
in him any of them I can understand
I can understand that this identity does not
not easy to assimilate to accept
since in itself what constitutes
really an identity
we only rarely highlight
this singularity
this complex diasporic identity
certainly but riesch has so much
levels
this identity that claims to be ok
the African diaspora goes beyond the
social limits of the African continent
it is an asset both for the country
of origin is somewhere also for the
host country
I will share with you some
sectors in which this aspect
date where are illustrated rather well talk about
but quickly I would like to save
still be able to keep you town
as long as possible since these ten
recent years the number of people
of the African diaspora
greatly increased by the same
opportunity the number of transfers from
funds from these diasporas there to countries
host members trying to
hope also have considerably
increased these fund transfers are going
directly in the homes therefore avoids
the corruption they have the goal
main level of expenditure
daily expenditure on primary
beneficiary households we are talking here about
expenditure on housing expenditures
related to clothing or to
supply
to give an example in 2016 the
total amounts and transfer
transfers of funds that have been
carried out by members of the diaspora
african to only africa
sub-Saharan Africa was 33 billion
dollars the same year
international humanitarian aid
jousted by big fmi-bank jigs
world and that was 1 2 27 billion
dollars for all of Africa whole there
there is still a difference
but we do not just serve that
send western union
I reassure you at least that’s what
I would like to believe we are are also
ambassadors
we are the first people who
introduce us abroad
introduced to new ways of
think of new ways of
functioning of new beliefs
without you having to spend a dime
for August airline tickets the identity
plural of members of the diaspora
African society greatly facilitates
intercultural exchanges immigration has
shaped the world
some countries have therefore taken advantage of
different foreign codes
foreign ethics who benefited
their development not interested
to the fact that in a single individual one can
find different codes has sided
different foreign ethical practices
a dosage higher than that of a
individual lambda it’s somewhere
minimized the wealth that flow from it
some parts of africa
we hear it was rocked by the orality
stories the customs the rules get
tells and always tells
by the way and there is a
caste in particular who has the right to
share all this information
they are the storytellers
the traditional west africa
the griots the griots me too when
I was small I wanted to be sour
I wanted to sing and tell the facts
of those who had scored
the story to my dismay
my grandmother quickly made me understand
that no matter what had been said
simone de beauvoir we do not become
to grill on and laugh that envy that
I had been younger became fortified
with time when I saw in the
media of fake stories and
pessimistic narrations that put into
before a gloomy africa the
Africans constantly in need and
which to what seems was not enough
entered the history
and this is where the ambassadors arrives
these griots and griots of the times
modern its members of the Diaspora made
in africa they come to talk to you about
their country from their city their culture
as well as their people they come
outside the borders of their country
change the narrative of the continent
African where his coat of arms was soiled
if there is one thing that I love
especially it is to look
videos of who shows a new
image of the African continent
a more glorious image of the indh and
video featuring two young people
entrepreneurs from the diaspora
African who are thirsty for a
economic and social development
recently I came across the video
of a young Ivorian man of origin
Ivorian who was born in reindeer and who has
grown up in brittany he works in the
field of finance
it’s a day decided to believe in his
Ivorian dream
so he went back to Ivory Coast and
decided to open a creperie
but not just any more
to have the ambition to become a
franchise this creperie adapts to
taste buds of the population
local on the menu of this young
entrepreneur we can find
galettes at the loco des galettes
bretonnes before
Ivory Coast plantain in one
serves this young entrepreneur has managed to
connect make coexist rally two
cultures two go up two countries that all
seemed to oppose in 2015 alongside
four other young women
we founded his diaspora a
platform that aims to promote a
better image in the media of
women and youth of the diaspora
african for name a year we have
wanted to create an online space or the
youth and the African diaspora
could freely express himself on what
represents for her being a member of
the African diaspora
a space where this youth for s
express both to one’s country of origin
and to his host country the youth of
nowadays is on the internet
she expresses herself wonderfully well in
140 characters our space has been so
online but how to get to
connect an entire community scattered
worldwide
how to get to connect with each other
individuals who do not know each other
but who have somewhere a lot of
things in common
the solution a hashtag in words #dsk
explained a rule
share a striking story or
the state of mind in all honesty we
were really not sure about our shot
but to our surprise the
hashtag has been picked up several times on
different platforms
social networks
I would like to read to you two hashtag that
pretty much sums up what I’m saying
since just now we travel around
of the world looking for something
but often it’s when you come home
we find it
#dsk speaking I’m at home
foreign stranger at home #dsk
speaking if we put this singularity in
link with all your lot of assets that I
just quoted you we go quickly
account that it’s youth is alert
to the parameters that constitutes his
environment the African diaspora and
the sixth region of africa
not because we share a
a nationality of a non-African country
not because our parents are from
the African continent but because
we are and that is all that is
going on there touches us here since
we are two there we are here
to rewrite a narration to participate in
development of the continent
by far the idea would be that we happen
can happen from the month to capitalize its
skills across different
different structures that
would come to support projects
initiatives of members of the diaspora
African projects that why not
could come to create a tone a lot
stronger between the country of origin and
the host country
managed to capitalize on this wealth
this cultural economic wealth
intellectual and
used as a key to development
thank you
[Applause]
