Women From Morocco

"I do! You can catch me in Sonic 3, which will be coming out this year. Can’t say much about it other than it was thoroughly entertaining. Loved every bit of my time on that set."

"My first and only impression was, God, that guy comes in and leaves as soon as the bell goes ding"

"I remember I texted him 'happy turn of the decade' in January,That was it."

"Sometimes he'd do up to 65 pages a day. He was just ripping pieces off, throwing them in the trash, as soon as he'd be done with the scene. It was almost like pop smoke and then he would leave. It was incredible."

"We did a dip in the pool with quarantine. I kind of never left him and we got married a year later."

"You only have to travel around the world, especially in Africa for example or in the Maghreb, to see how much of an appetite there is for French."

"My first mission will be to de-age the very notion of Francophonie, to restore its luster, its youth, its dynamism."

"I speak French, English and an Arabic dialect. This is something that is very natural for me and that I don’t think about."

"Abroad, French often has the reputation of being a difficult, highly literary language. A rarified language that belongs to intellectuals. However, it is important to show young people that it is also a language of modernity, a language of rap and slam poetry, for thinking about the world of tomorrow and inventing. And also that French is also a useful language through which you can find work."

"It is a fascinating and very rewarding job on a human level. French is a global language, which lives and flourishes on all the continents, with accents, turns of phrase and metaphors which belong to each landscape. It is quite extraordinary to see the flexibility of this language and to understand its constant creolisation and transformation."

"( Emmanuel Macron)The President of the Republic has decided to entrust, as of today, the function of Personal Representative of the Head of State for the Francophonie to Ms. Leïla Slimani. According to the mission letter she received from the President of the Republic, Ms. Slimani will represent France on the Permanent Council of the Francophonie"

"An actress who wants to wear my clothes has to come, we have to talk, have a coffee. I have to understand why she would come to see me, and not someone else.With Jarrar, there is no fantasy of finding herself in a harsh spotlight, nor the desire to dress a specific woman:I don't have a muse. I'm claustrophobic, I refuse to lock myself into a prism."

"bring to Lanvin the harmony and consistency of a fashion designed for women, a fashion of our time."

"Lightness is very important, even in extremely fluid tuxedos, extremely light. It is important to be in a nice comfort but with good appearance."

"It was important for me to express a very broad femininity through this beautiful proposal that required a strong decision on my side to close my house. This is a strong gesture I offered to Lanvin, to be fully there. With this first fashion show I could establish the new codes of Lanvin of this new era that I open"

"I intend to return to Morocco, while keeping my personal and professional ties in Egypt, where my artistic activities will take place. That’s my decision. It is final. I have matured and I need to go back to live with my family. I have reached the age where one needs to be constantly surrounded by one’s close ones and friends."

"I’m not pretentious and I hate pride. For me, any artistic work that pleases my audience is enough to make me happy."

"better to be close to her family at my age."

"I have a collection of songs in the final touches stage. Their number has reached more than 8 songs. I am confused about whether to release a single or an album of my usual mix"

"The final decision will be decided by the company within a week whether I will release a classic tarab song, or will wait for Eid after Ramadan and release an album. It has been a long time since I released an album with my combination.""

"I am of Berber origin; my father is from a village not far from Azrou called Timahdit, while my mother is from Errachidia. I have lived in Casablanca for 19 years"

"I don't think the challenges we face are gender-based. It's a matter of the individual, of character, and of the ability to make choices. When faced with a situation, you have to take the time to question yourself and quickly propose a solution. My determination and tenacity have led me to accept who I am and what I represent, and it is for this very reason that my gender has never conditioned me."

"Independence has always been a leitmotif for me and has been reflected in my career choices, my positioning in the artistic scene, and more generally, in my line of conduct. However, this really came to fruition when I was able to become financially independent; from there, I could not only impose my leitmotif, but also build it in a sustainable way"

"I would tell them to believe in their dreams. The important thing is not the success itself, it's the path you take to achieve it. I believed in myself and I achieved it. If the opportunity presented itself and I could go back, I would do exactly the same thing, without any hesitation"

"It requires a lot of skills and resources, and that's what discourages directors and producers a little... I think that's the main reason. And then, with all the respect I have for our screenwriters, and there are some who are very talented, I think we have a real problem because writing is a profession in its own right. Unfortunately, we have a lack in that area. And then people are more interested in films that are easy to consume..."

"Not everything is always fine, but you have to learn to live with what's fine and what's not. That's life. Personally, I've learned to appreciate what I have and I'll say: I'm fine, thank God"

"I think we have a fairly diverse cinema scene. I like that there's a wide selection, and that there's something for everyone. There's just one small drawback, in my opinion: we don't respect people's intelligence enough. I hate mediocrity"

"I am seriously Amazigh and I am proud of my identity. Indeed, I do not speak Amazigh, but I understand it well"

"The Amazighs are the indigenous people of the Maghreb countries, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, as well as the Tuareg of the Sahara Desert to the borders of Siwa in Egypt."

"I do not like this approach in talking about women and men. I see a society, and we suffer from defects in society."

"Ahlam is a very sincere person, meaning the thing that attracts me most about her is that she is loyal to her profession, loves to be good, and does everything in a distinctive and unusual way in her work and personal life."

"I really grew up listening to international music more than Moroccan music. When I started my career, I used to write my own songs in English and French. I would never have thought that someday I would write my own songs in Arabic, because Arabic, especially the Moroccan dialect, has a lot of harsh sounds."

"We have some female rappers here in Morocco who are very strong. But I think that the thing we need more of is just helping each other out. I think that if we had more communication and more love between female artists, we’d all express ourselves more. At the end of the day, it’s music, it’s art, and it’s sharing messages."

"When I started singing, it was mostly pop and love songs. Once I started doing rap, a lot of people were shocked. For those in Morocco, rap is for men, not women. I think all the criticism just made me be a stronger person."

"I was inspired by a lot of artists. I grew up listening to Rihanna, Beyoncé, Drake, and Lil Wayne. These artists really impacted me and impacted my way of seeing music."

"I am honored to take on this role with UNAIDS and am committed to supporting the fight against HIV in Morocco."

"As an artist, I have a platform to reach many people. It is my duty to use my voice to advocate for people living with and affected by HIV who are often unheard."

"My stage outfits are a blend of fabrics and accessories inspired by Morocco’s traditional crafts, Africa and anywhere the music takes me."

"Inspiration moves in us when we are touched, moved. The inspiration comes from the people I encounter, and those with whom I evolve. It also comes in elements, areas and aspects of nature and the universe beyond us."

"I write and compose my songs, and then I arrange them in consultation with the musicians I work with."

"Love is the key to happiness and continuity."

"The most important thing for us is that the intervention and the program are very rapid so that these disruptions do not affect the performance of businesses and the economy of the Kingdom."

"What we want now is to maintain the pace of reforms. To gain credibility in these reforms and have funding, we must maintain this pace which allows us to reduce the budget deficit annually."

"we have chosen to provide targeted subsidies by the state so that there is no impact on the entire economy. (...) I am referring here to transport or electricity, for which we have maintained prices at an appropriate level so that there is no impact on growth."

"Morocco also braces for the launch of major infrastructure projects as it prepares to host the 2030 World Cup and as it continues post-earthquake relief along with reconstruction of homes and facilities destroyed by the recent floods."

"In addition, the award of the organisation of two mega football events, the Africa Cup of Nations in 2025 and the 2030 World Cup [shared with Spain, Portugal, Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay], constitutes a great opportunity for our country, and should certainly further energise our territories and have a great impact on growth and employment."

"We are also counting on the confidence of local and foreign investors who always maintain the pace of their investments to create employment opportunities and strengthen growth."

"The government will press ahead with the generalization of mandatory health coverage, financial assistance to needy families, and will launch the generalization of the pension system, as it also continues the reform of the health and education sectors."
