Does the French team have you dreaming of escaping to Paris this summer?…We feel you. If you are like us, you are probably still recovering from the amazing 2018 World Cup victory of Les Bleus. But let's not forget how this summer got HOT! Beyoncé and Jay-Z dropped a clip magnifique in the Louvre, and Virgil Abloh wowed us with the Louis Vuitton Spring / Summer 2019 collection. So, with all of this black excellence à la Française on display..France is once again looking like Disneyland for Black folks, right? Not exactly. As Daily Show host Trevor Noah and others have pointed out...it’s a bit more complicated than that. In this debut episode of Rebel Sisters Podcast, Nig**s in Paris, hosts Hélène Faussart from the group Les Nubians and friend Iota Vanne ask: Why do African Americans love Paris so much to begin with? And what is different about the black experience in France versus the USA?
