Grace Ly

Grace Ly is a writer, director and podcast host.

 

Grace Ly owes her antiracist education to the books she read, the people she met and the hundred experts she interviewed for her podcast « Kiffe ta race » alongside the journalist Rokhaya Diallo.

How do the struggles of yesterday impact the antiracist claims of our times? What is the history of the fights for the rights of social groups which were made minor ? Based on founding texts, facts, figures, testimonies and personal experiences, Grace Ly answers these questions and outlines our contemporary antiracist demands.

This conference aims to raise awareness with 5 key steps :

  • Recognize the differents forms of racism

  • How did racism manifest itself in our past history ?

  • In what ways does racism still affect our collective imagination ?

  • Stereotypes and biases we have a hard time getting rid of Good practices and recommendations for antiracist actions

  • One thing we are sure of : we all have a lot to benefit from knowing our common history and fight racism together.
