Never Give Up – A Journey to Empowerment
Today, I spent the entire day finalizing the contents of my book, Never Give Up. My goal? To inspire those who feel like life has stripped them of control—to remind them that giving up is never the answer. Through my own stories, I hope to offer motivation and a sense of solidarity. Because let’s be honest, life can feel so challenging sometimes, and knowing you’re not alone can make all the difference.
I remember when I first wanted to write a book about my famous grandfather in Lyon. My uncle questioned my intentions, assuming it was an ego-driven pursuit. Two years later, guess who wrote the book? Him! Lol. But that experience only reinforced what I truly believe: we all have powerful stories that can inspire, uplift, and change lives. Ready to write yours?
I’m determined to launch this book for International Women’s Day—not because I see myself as a feminist, but because I firmly advocate for women’s rights. My passion for human rights advocacy began when I worked with José Ramos-Horta, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s NGO, for seven years, but its roots run deeper. It started with my grandmother, an independent and visionary woman who took me to protests against nuclear arms in Paris, advocated for women’s rights, and shared her resistance stories in schools and universities. She dreamed of writing her own book, but back then, her voice was dismissed—too many resistance and concentration camp stories, they said (Bernard Pivot exactly, a man...). So, she poured her words into poetry instead.
Feminism, too, was passed down from my mother, a woman who always speaks her mind. These strong women shaped my belief that no one should have to fight alone to reclaim their sovereignty.
💫 To honor this, I’m organizing a virtual workshop on International Women’s Day (in French and English)—stay tuned for the link!

Because no matter what life throws at us, we rise, reclaim, and never give up. ❤️✨
Love & Gratitude,
