They lived the We Xperience

"I truly appreciated the quality of the organization, the energy present, and the vision surrounding the Africa Pops x Senegal is Calling 2026 project. It was a real pleasure to discover such an ambitious project for the promotion of Senegal, its culture, its brands, and its international influence. The exchanges and the project development presentation strengthened my desire to get more involved alongside you. I would be honored to join the delegation in Manhattan as an official Ambassador to promote Senegal together to the New York diaspora and highlight our country's full cultural and economic potential."
