Description
Kalista Sy is on a mission to show Senegalese women that they can be themselves. She’s created a TV series called “Maitresse d'un homme marié” which tackles subjects which are normally off limits in Senegal – such as sex, infidelity, domestic abuse and polygamy. The series is hugely popular, even though it has been criticised by religious clerics and TV regulators in the country. Kalista tells Jo Fidgen how she learned to write a TV series via the internet and how women get in touch with her all the time to tell her their stories.
