Africa Top Success Ils font l'Afrique
Fatou Ndiaye was born in Senegal, in 1980 in Saint- Louis, Senegal and has lived in France since the age of 8 years. In 1997, she was spotted by Oliviero Toscani, the famous Benetton brand photographer of advertisements who urges her to become a model.
In 2001, she became known on TV with the TV movie Fatou la Malienne, which earned 8.5 million viewers, and rolls a 7 gold for best film and a TV Golden FIPA 2001. “The story was very strong because I met some great people in the crew of actors and technicians. And it was funny, in two months I learned a lot and I was really amused. I was less amused the after shooting when the film was released, but it remained a very fulfilling experience for me. (…) I had not considered the acting profession ! «
She then chained roles in » Asterix and Obelix: Cleopatra Mission « of Alain Chabat (France, 2002) and as singer in » Nha Fala « of Flora Gomes (Guinea Bissau, 2003).
She then takes time to manage her career even if she recognizes that it is not always easy: « The white racism does not allow blacks to succeed in France. Talent can fly in racism and all other forms of discrimination. «
