07. Fabrice Guené, Determiné
"Je pense que si nous voulons que la situation change, si nous voulons que la situation se stabilise, si nous voulons véritablement arriver à amorcer un réel développement, à le maintenir juste à peine une étape du développement, va falloir que chaque burkinabè se serre la ceinture pour pouvoir se demander ce qu'il peut faire, ce qu'il peut donner, ce qu'il peut apporter. Le plus dur, c'est de pouvoir garder cette flamme-là, mais parce que derrière, on n'a pas toujours des mesures d'accompagnement, on n'a pas toujours des facilités pour pouvoir faire prospérer les projets que l'on a pour le bien de la communauté. (…) Je me dis l'essentiel, c'est de faire sa part et de se battre de toutes ses forces, de donner tout ce que l'on a, vraiment tout ce que l'on a. Si ça marche, tant mieux si ça ne marche pas, faute de moyens d'accompagnement ou des mesures d'accompagnement idoines, au moins, on aura essayé."

"To be African is always be expansive in your mind and your heart and your spirit not to be limited. Also really just to be confident knowing that you really embody this deepest most profound love that exists. Because if you look at the history of how we've been oppressed and how we continue to be oppressed. The compassion that we're able to show to the oppressor is unbelievable. It's magic, pure magic."

02. Saran Koly, Entière
 "La meilleure façon de me définir pour moi, c'est de dire que je suis une marginale ou de dire que je suis en dehors, que je suis à côté. Je ne suis pas dedans et ce n'est pas du tout inconfortable pour moi. Je suis ma zone de confort, c'est d'être dans à la marge et à côté et pas au centre donc. Je me souviens qu'il y avait quelqu'un qui disait que  je disais disait toujours que mes parents sont du Mali, de la Guinée, du Sénégal et que j'ai grandi en Côte d'Ivoire et que je disais que je suis 100 % de tout, 100 % du Mali, 100 % de Guinée, 100 % du Sénégal, 100 % de Côte d'Ivoire. C'est exactement ça. Je suis 100 % africaine, 100 % européenne, 100 % une femme , 100 % pas sûre d'être une femme 100 % pas sûre d'être si européenne que ça. Je suis 100 %, je suis une personne complète.”

01. Maneo Mohale, The poet
“What it means for me to be Black and queer and trans or non-binary or all of these names make me legible I suppose in a western framework of gender and sexuality. But increasingly the longer that I'm here and the deeper I ask myself further and more ancestral questions about identity and sexuality and desire and kinship, the more those categories dissolve. But I cannot ignore the political reality of needing to be visible and legible to my own community (…) I know that there were poets and artists and queer people and trans people in my life that made me feel possible, because they identified themselves and lived in public ways and published obviously pursuant to all kinds of issues of safety and openness and visibility and representation. I really want to be the kind of person that makes other people feel possible. That makes other divine, beautiful, complicated, gorgeous queer young Black babies feel like they have, and can, and must carve their own space and take up their own space in the world, on the continent, in the country everywhere.”

15. Jumoke Warritay, The Connector
“I had to make a shift from saying, like, oh, I am from Sierra Leone because literally people just didn't know where it was. They had no idea. And there is only so much of like a geography lesson I want to do in an introduction, like, all right, let's simplify this. I am African. So, I remember making this shift that first year in the United States where I was no longer Sierra Leonean first. I was African first. And I was black first. You know that these two identities really shaped my experience in a big way, and it was stark and difficult to manage.”
