Be Yourself. The World Worships the Original.

[Si par hazard tu cherches une histoire émouvante, tu es au bon endroit]. J’ai fait la connaissance de Boris Evrard sur les réseaux sociaux et comme beaucoup de jeunes burundais au Canada, je le connaissais principalement à travers son activisme et ses engagements dans la diaspora Burundaise au Canada.
