RAMA YADE ?! CERTES, BUT GOTTA LOVE THE EXPERIENCES THAT SHE GETS TO HAVE AS THE FRENCH SECRETARY OF STATE!


Rama Yade meets Nelson Mandela
She got the chance to meet the Daila Lama
Supporting here Ayan Hirsi (Ayan..that's another story)
Rama and her husband
Looking young here
Rama comforting a Cambodian victim of war
Rama in official visit in England, escorted to official diner by Prince Andrew
Rama with her boss Sarko and his wife Carla Bruni
Rama w/Depardieu encouraging adoption in France!
Rama in Israel remenbering the Israeli victims of the Holocaust
Rama rather stylish here and other members of the French gov'
Rama in Kinshasa visiting a center for less fortunate children
Rama meeting the son of missing tchadian politician Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh

So Rama Yade who is the French Secretary of State, of Senegalese for various reasons doesn't do it for me..through various interviews I find her sometimes too blunt, agressive and trying to hide a lack of experience with smartness..
ok to her defense she's fairly young early thirties she's of African origins in a foreigner country, the President that she supports is not a fav' of minorities..all of this make her job quite challenging..She's quite courageous but I'm not convinced by her...

What I'm convinced abt though is the chance she has through her job to encouter HUMANITY, from kids in Congo dealing with hunger lost of their parents, World Leaders responsible for the change or non change of our economical political social global well being, to visiting expos museums honoring the death of people we lost unfortunately through holocausts, to meeting Nelson Mandela, the Daila Lama...
I mean I envy being able everyday to try change the world, make it better, to travel the world and deal with us HUMAN BEINGS..I just find the concept of her job ahhh beautiful

Now ..I don't know if besides the theory she's truly given the chance to be truly active but in my opinion being elected as secretary of states responsible of human rights should mean something...
On her official site, her current agenda reads that she's focused on fighting for adoption, she's also fighting against domestic violence and homophobia...I hope she takes her job very seriously and that she enjoys these beautiful experiences she's been given.

Here's her official site:
