It all started with a tender missive from the Creole from Martinique, Da Doudou´s daughter, the President of Circle Mediterranean Caribbean from Saint-Pierre in Martinique, Marie-Reine de Jaham who is the main organizer of Creole Festivals on all the Cote d'Azur which she creolised at her ease. Marie-Reine and I share the divine faith and the passion to be Creole. She offered me to introduce me in the first "Who is Who?" of black people in France, which is the book “Gotha Noir de France, Black Gotha of France" created by the dentist Nkamgueu Elie, founder and President of the Club Efficiency since 2008 for which she wrote the preface: "My Creolity: Opening, an ardent obligation" where she points out: "... This culture which is rooted in the five continents is my birth and my essence. "

Gotha means all the personalities of the aristocracy, politics, culture, science, sports etc... considered in terms of their notoriety. Yes, but ... The Gotha ... BLACK? The inhabitants of "Gwadakéra” the Island which doesn´t exist where is living the heroine Damida of my forthcoming book "God is Creole", didn´t see God black at all, but on the other side, I had never in my life put the word Gotha with the color black. God is black, yes! But Gotha black? Not at all. What a debate! And before you remind me that God has no color, don´t read my leaps! Read my book!

I am myself excellently Creole in a fire of efficiency which means the action in non-action. Always full of gratitude for being born Negress which rhymes in french with braid, finesse, tenderness, joy, nobility, goddess ..., I though I was in the empire in the company of black Gods and Goddesses like the first black Caribbean female director produced by MGM, "A Dry White Season" and the only woman filmmaker who directed Marlon Brando, I name of course Euzhan Palcy who recently received the Trophy Awards of African-Caribbean Arts. She was literally shining of class.
