About Yovovi

Yovovi est un podcast né lors de mon voyage au Togo en juin 2022, après huit ans sans avoir été sur le continent africain. Yovo signifie blanc en Ewe, Yovovi la petite blanche. Moi qui me suis toujours considérée comme moitié-moitié, à mi-chemin entre ces deux cultures, me considère-t-on encore comme Yovovi ? Dans ce podcast, j’explore mes contrastes en tant femme métisse, née d’un père français et d’une mère togolaise. En quête d’identité ? Peut-être. En quête de réponses ? surtout. Bonne écoute !
