## Position statements
### Invisibility of black female videographers on YouTube

In October 2020, she spoke on Clique about the invisibility of black female videographers on YouTube.
   There's been a phenomenon of invisibilization of black female youtubers, where they've been sidelined and ignored by brands, even though black women are huge consumers. There really is a curtain between black female influencers and non-black female influencers in general. I've been meeting a lot of them lately who tell me “I've never seen your face in my suggestions”, even though I've got videos that are getting a million views. And it's true that I've never seen their faces in mine either.

### Dangers of Mym and OnlyFans

In January 2021, she warned of the dangers of Mym (a French alternative to OnlyFans) and OnlyFans, platforms for sharing and monetizing pornographic photos and videos. She noted that 40% of profiles were held by minors.

### French legislative elections of 2024

During the 2024 legislative elections, she took a stand against the rise of the extreme right in France.
