How did Joséphine Baker influence Paris?

On Nov. 23, 2021, an online conference organized by the Alliance française Miami Metro focusing on Joséphine Baker and her legacy in “Le Paris Noir” by Kévi Donat (who leads Le Paris Noir, a series of guided tours through the City of Light with a focus on Black culture).

Since 2013, Kévi Donat has been tracing the steps of icons such as James Baldwin, Frantz Fanon, Josephine Baker, and Cheikh Anta Diop. With a Master degree in political studies and inspired by the legacy of these great figures, Donat engages in conversations about identity and France’s colonial past with both native Parisians and tourists. Donat also co-hosts Le Tchip, a podcast about how race and pop culture interact with one another.
