FR: En regardant un reportage sur TV5 Monde en mars 2016. C’était après un concert que nous avons organisé au Zénith de Paris.

Une vingtaine de pays était représentée avec avec une trentaine d’artistes.

FR: En 2008, je me suis sentie utile, après un reportage dans la prison centrale de Kondengui au Cameroun. J’ai pu constater les conditions de détention parfois inhumaines dans cet établissement surpeuplé. Après avoir écouté les détenus raconter leurs histoires, certains cas m’ont marqué. La négligence et certaines erreurs administratives ont créé une catégorie de prisonniers appelées « les oubliés de la prisons ». Ceux-là attendent que l’administration penitiaire retrouve leur dossier égaré, pour espérer un éventuel procès. J’ai ressenti le besoin de décrier cette situation et de contribuer à l’amélioration de leur situation. Le reportage a été primé par L’Union Européenne en collaboration avec le Centre des Nations Unies pour les Droits de l’Homme et la Démocratie en Afrique Centrale.

ENG: In 2008, I felt useful after reporting in Kondengui Central Prison in Cameroon. I have seen the sometimes inhuman conditions of detention in this overcrowded facility.

Those are waiting for the penitential administration to find their lost file, to hope for a possible trial. I felt the need to decry this situation and contribute to the improvement of their situation. The report was awarded by the European Union in collaboration with the United Nations Center for Human Rights and Democracy in Central Africa.

Here follows a message of Peter de Kuster, founder of the Heroine’s Journey 

The Heroine’s Journey is a private tour in story rich venues of world cities with Peter de Kuster, to rewrite the story you tell yourself about yourself and your creative work and in the process transform your life and business.

What is your Story?

“Your story is your life,” says Peter. As human beings, we continually tell ourselves stories — of success or failure; of power or victimhood; stories that endure for an hour, or a day, or an entire lifetime. We have stories about ourselves, our creative business, our customers ; about what we want and what we’re capable of achieving. Yet, while our stories profoundly affect how others see us and we see ourselves, too few of us even recognize that we’re telling stories, or what they are, or that we can change them — and, in turn, transform our very destinies.

Telling ourselves stories provides structure and direction as we navigate life’s challenges and opportunities, and helps us interpret our goals and skills. Stories make sense of chaos; they organize our many divergent experiences into a coherent thread; they shape our entire reality. And far too many of our stories, says Peter, are dysfunctional, in need of serious editing. First, he asks you to answer the question, “In which areas of my life is it clear that I cannot achieve my goals with the story I’ve got?” He then shows you how to create new, reality-based stories that inspire you to action, and take you where you want to go both in your work and personal life.

Our capacity to tell stories is one of our profoundest gifts. Peter’s approach to creating deeply engaging stories will give you the tools to wield the power of storytelling and forever change your business and personal life.
