#19 In France with Thérèse Sayarath: Singing for Freedom

For the #19 episode of We Belong, we take you to France to meet the singer, activist and artist Thérèse Sayarath. Through her songs, Thérèse wants to contribute to the construction of another image of the French "universality", one that includes all the people. Born in a Parisian suburb from Asian parents, she refuses to be put into a box: she sees herself as a rainbow. The encounter between the sun and the rain. Visible but uncatchable. In conversation with Thérèse, we remembered her early days, growing up in a multicultural neighborhood, but also the identity crisis she faced when she studied in a business school and finally how she found an harmony and a way to express herself through music.
