#47 At the European Parliament with MEP Salima Yenbou: Fostering the Unity in Diversity of Europe

For the episode #47 of We Belong, we were at the European Parliament to meet the MEP Salima Yenbou. Born in Seine-Saint-Denis, she worked as a school administrator before her election in 2019. MEP Yenbou is one of only 24 eurodeputies who are people of color out of 705 (cf. ENAR). In conversation with MEP Yenbou, we discussed her commitment for representation in Europe, why she decided to become an elected official and her approach to foster equal opportunities in French suburbs.
