How do we build equality on a daily basis? The committed singer Thérèse, who made a name for herself with her titles “TOXIC” and “Chinese?”, Answers aufeminin’s questions.
She started her solo career with a single, TOXIC, which exposed a toxic relationship. The one who says that “to love others healthily, it is necessary to love yourself healthily first”, multiply the fights. As much an activist as an artist, she notably denounces the clichés about Asians in her song “Chinese?” and promotes self-confidence for the well-being of all. “You need to take care of yourself. Someone who knows himself better positively contaminates the other, leads the other to ask questions and to get better in turn.“
She also points to the fact that each person has the power to do things for a more equal society. “At its scale, at its pace … your ideas don’t keep them to yourself. There are a thousand and one ways to help causes.” And to add: “There is nothing rational in this idea of wanting a more egalitarian world. A world where every human life has the same value.” Over time, she has learned to put aside her aggressiveness and to communicate more gently. A step back which finally allows him to make room for dialogue … and therefore to make things happen. What if we listened to him?
