Ebony: a young woman victim of racism

During this adventure, Ebony's skin color was much talked about. Within the castle, the young woman was protected from the criticism she was subjected to, but she discovered everything when she left. “Today, I want to stay focused on my art and it's not a subject. My skin color should not be a subject of debate on this show,” she said. Coming to make her dream come true, Ebony regrets that her origins have taken precedence over the real reason for her presence in the program.

Ebony proclaims it loud and clear: “Star Academy, it's just a singing competition, an entertainment show, there's nothing political in it. Today, I'm moving on from that”. The message she wants to convey ? Always believe in your dreams and never pay attention to criticism. “It is important that all little girls of all backgrounds or skin colors rise above criticism,” she said before continuing:  “Everyone needs to accept each other's differences. Differences should not divide, on the contrary”. 

Ebony: a candidate torn between disappointment and pride

Like all her teammates, her goal was to reach the tour and then aim as far as possible.

You have to do your best to “write good songs that the public listens to ”, she concluded, eager to reveal everything to her public.
