This week, we offer you a series of portraits of the African diaspora in France.

Dynamic and uninhibited, these are women and men who dare to undertake in areas where they are not necessarily expected: in politics, in the real estate sector or in the police... They are the new faces of France .

Meeting for this first episode with Rachel Kéké, elected deputy of France Insoumise.

At 48, this former governess of Ivorian origin made a name for herself during the chambermaids' strike at the Ibis les Batignolles hotel.

Sylvie Koffi followed her during the legislative campaign until the historic election.
