Who’s behind Grandeurnoire?
Safia Enjoylife is a Guyanese, passionate about the History of Africa and its Diaspora. In the course of her researches and travels, her interest for the topic evolved and turned into deep investigations. By the way, her university thesis was dedicated to the resistance against slavery.

After graduating from the Master's degree in “Languages, Intercultural Literatures and Civilizations” and with her several travel experiences, Safia decided to share her grasp through her website: www.grandeurnoire.com and then through meetings, her YouTube channel “ grandeurnoire” and eventually through books. To know more about what got Safia to develop GRANDEURNOIRE, you can see various interviews, such as those from magazines like “Onatty Mag”, “Succèss made in femme” or “ Ose Vivre”.

Safia is now preparing a documentary series named “L’Afrique qu’on ne nous montre pas”, which aims to rebalance our perception of the source continent of humanity and all our knowledge. She set up a nest egg to this end in order to fund the equipment, the film crew, the field trips, the editing and the multilingual dubbing. Other projects are on the way such as educational games, classes for children and teenagers and collections of bag packs and school accessories bearing the image of heroes and heroines.

What is Grandeurnoire’s approach?
The black people is constantly presented from the viewpoint of submission, weakness or criminality. Grandeurnoire’s website, Instagram page, YouTube channel, books and meetings yearn to highlight the black people and its Diaspora’s excellence, ingeniousness, achievements, strength, victories and beauty. Grandeurnoire strives for the rehabilitation of forgotten heroes, prodigies and glorious events. Grandeurnoire also reveals that no matter the places, the times and the forms of oppression, African people and its Afro-descendants have always resisted and fought for their liberty.

The priority of the approach is to rebalance the way African and Afro-descendants look at themselves. They will draw their inspiration from their predecessors’ irreducibility and resilience in order to avoid falling into fatalism and to carrying on the resistance against the current Western hegemony. And this at every scale such as economy, intellect, culture, hair, cloth and partnership.

The struggle to get equity, justice and truth is not over. We will beat the contemporary shackles as our ancestors broke those at their ankles!
