"Joséphine est une femme qui vibre l’avenir et l’amour.
Insaisissable [sauf par la musique] est sa personnalité polyédrique.
Elle transmet un message intergénérationnel et intra-générationnel, qui embrasse cultures, féminité, émancipation et inclusion.
Lorsque le succès devient éducatif et motivant, et une Star devient une étoile qui illumine encore aujourd’hui le chemin pour devenir une humanité meilleure."
Camilla Venara,
Sustainability expert
"... I WANT YOU TO HAVE A CHANCE AT WHAT I HAD. BUT I DO NOT WANT YOU TO HAVE TO RUN AWAY TO GET IT. AND MOTHERS AND FATHERS, IF IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU, THINK OF YOUR CHILDREN. MAKE IT SAFE HERE SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO RUN AWAY, FOR I WANT FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN WHAT I HAD."
Joséphine Baker
from her speech at the March on Washington, 1963
“... WE WERE ALL INSPIRED BY YOUR PRESENCE AT THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON.
I AM DEEPLY MOVED BY THE FACT THAT YOU WOULD FLY SUCH A LONG DISTANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT MOMENTOUS EVENT ... YOU ARE CERTAINLY DOING A MOST DEDICATED SERVICE FOR MANKIND."
Martin Luther King
MLK wrote to Baker after the March on Washington event in 1963

Hemingway
"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PANTHER AND THE MOST CHARMING OF WOMEN"
Colette
"HEAVENLY LEGS, EBONY EYES
AND THE SMILE WHERE ALL THE OTHER SMILES GO TO DIE"
