This week's rising leading lady- Rama Yade

We just wanted to give a shout out to African's making a difference around the world.



Rama Yade is one of 17 junior ministers that were appointed to President Nicolas Sarkozy's rightwing French government following parliamentary elections. She is minister for human rights.

Yade was born in Dakar, the daughter of a Senegalese diplomat, but grew up with her mother and three sisters on the outskirts of Paris, where she studied political science, moving on to an administrator's job in the French Senate.

These are exactly the stories we need to be hearing about Africa and and the impact Africans globally. But we will not see this in VIP media (CNN, FOX News, WaPost, NYT, etc.). So its great we have blogs/media such as this to dissimenate the GOOD NEWZ. Really, it's up to us,awnyway. Keep it up!
