MY LATEST BOOKS

This illustrated book for children tells the story of a son from Senegal named Gorgui. The character discovers his culture, traditions and values through his parents and educators. The lessons received will be his benchmarks for opening up to the world and exploring it. This work is the first volume in a series. The project starts from a need to teach our offspring to remain open to the world without being uprooted. It is a story that promises values such as dignity, steadfastness, courage, authenticity, honesty and faith.

Failure is indispensable. Success rarely gives us the calm we need to think about the fundamentals, values and meaning of our life. Success goes with a great deal of confidence. Do we think hard enough when we are stuck in certainties and self-evident facts? Success is a stage in life. Failure too. The latter allows us to reset ourselves. To take a break in our certainties, to observe our journey, our behavior in society, our blindness, our mistakes ... We are afraid of failing until the moment we fail and we realize that it is not. that terrible.
