I really think these dresses are absolutely gorgeous and stunning 😍🥰 I want to order one and have it delivered to see how it would look on me. But I know nowadays people think dressing up in a culture that’s not your own is bad. Would it be okay for me to get one?

can anyone reccomend any hostels or cheap accomodation in Saint Louis? can’t find anything online ! Thanks

I’ve always been fascinated by the strange things that sit at the edges of our understanding: the possibility of lives beyond the one we know, the mysteries of consciousness, the thin line between the seen and unseen, and the ways our ancestors understood a universe that still refuses to give up all its secrets.

These questions found their way into my 4th book and new collection of stories, The Moon Knows All the Secrets of the World, Rooted in magical realism and African cosmology, the book explores strange encounters, memory, grief, love, identity, and the possibility that reality is far more mysterious than our ordinary lives allow us to believe.

I’m drawn to the thought that we might be connected to one another, and to the universe itself, in ways we haven’t yet learned to understand. We arrive in this world with so many questions, inherit stories from those who came before us, and leave with mysteries still unresolved. Perhaps some stories help us sit a little longer with those questions instead of rushing to answer them.

The book is free on Amazon for the next 24 hours

If you decide to read it, I’d love to hear what you think. An honest review would also mean a great deal to me as an independent author.

Hey guys! This is a song out of the Senegalese rap scene I’ve been listening to recently, but I don’t speak Wolof or French, and the song appears to be a mixture of Wolof, French, and English. I really want to know what’s being said, but I can’t find any official lyrics and the only transcription I can find is on this tumblr post, but it’s incomplete: https://www.tumblr.com/dancehall-song-lyrics/705275087435317248/one-lyrical-tarkinda-lyrics

Could a Wolof/French speaker help me out on this one 😅

Hi everyone, does anyone know where this film is now available to watch online?

I tried MUBI and TV5Monde but seems neither are showing it anymore. Is there anywhere you know that this could be watched online? I prefer to pay for it but if there's only non-officially streaming way, I also wouldn't mind.

Just really want to watch it. Thank you so much!!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m currently working as an Executive Assistant in the Tech industry here in the U.S and I’d love to connect with other EAs, especially in Senegal as a way to get closer to my country.

I’m thinking about starting an informal group where we can share best practices, exchange tips, discuss tech tools, and learn from each other's experiences. Whether you’re an experienced EA or a virtual assistant, all are welcome!

If you’d be interested in joining, please let me know.

Merci :)

Bonjour à tous ! 👋

Hello:)

I was wondering if most mosques stay open throughout the day - as in open in between prayer times from fajr to isha. thta you can just walk inside one on a whim say. and at night i assume most of them are closed as well... in egypt and morocco i hated that mosques were open only in prayer times...

Salut,

J'ai créé une application pour apprendre le wolof ainsi que d'autres langues africaines. L'appli s'appelle jogolinga et est disponible en version web (jogolinga.app), sur Android et très prochainement sur IOS. Il y a des quiz, des exercices pratiques et plein d'autres choses qui vous permettront d'en savoir plus sur le Wolof et la culture africaine en générale. N'hésitez pas à me faire des retours pour que je puisse l'améliorer. Ba beneen yoon !

Salut tout le monde, récemment un policier m'avait arrêté en voiture pour défaut d'autorisation de vitres teintées car l'entreprise avait oublié de le mentionner sur la carte grise.

Il avait pris et mon permis et la carte grise, avec une amende de 6000F à payer.

Je voulais savoir dans ce genre de situation quels sont nos droits et qu'est ce que le policier n'a pas le droit de faire j'ai vraiment besoin de ces détails.

Merci.

I’ve received my yellow fever vaccine in Brazil in January 2025. I received a booklet with the details, but it’s in Portuguese and I did not receive the ICVP. I’ve been struggling to obtain the ICVP from the Brazilian government due to bureaucratic challenges. I’m wondering - if I fly to Senegal and attempt to overland to the Gambia, back to Senegal, then fly to Cabo Verde, could I be denied boarding, forced to pay a fine, or get revaccinated?

Looking to hear best solutions.

Bonjour r/Senegal ,

Je travaille sur un projet local pour faciliter la recherche de logements à Dakar.

J’aimerais comprendre les difficultés que vous rencontrez : annonces peu fiables, prix peu clairs, difficultés à organiser une visite… Qu’est-ce qui vous pose le plus de problèmes quand vous cherchez un logement ?

Je développe justement une solution autour de ce sujet et vos retours m’aideraient à mieux comprendre les besoins réels.

Merci pour vos conseils et vos retours d’expérience !

Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone knew people or institutions that can help someone in need with heavy medical bills ?

Does anyone know where I can get Mauritanian henna in Dakar?

Bonjour tout le monde,

J’ai besoin d’informations : je souhaite exercer une activité commerciale à Diamniadio dans la zone ministérielle, et j’ai déjà un espace en vue.
Quelles sont les démarches à faire et à qui dois-je m’adresser ?

Merci beaucoup les amis !

I'm a gay man planning on visiting Senegal. I've been to several Muslim counties in the past with no issues. I have traveled all over the world as a tourist and like experiencing different cultures.

I have recently heard about the new laws affecting gay people in Senegal as well as tourists. All of my friends are begging me not to go. I have already booked flights and hotels. I don't really scare too easily but I'm wondering, should I cancel my trip and go somewhere else? Would I be in danger? I'm not looking for a gay travel experience seeking out bars or other gays there. I'm just coming to sight see. Does the government search your phone or anything like that when you land in the country?

Any info would be appreciated.

Want to know which stores sell them in dakar and what can i get for a budget of 1.5m
Thanks

I'll be flying into DSS and will need to get to Saly. Is there a bus to there from the airport, how much is it, and how often does it run? I'll be landing at 8 PM.

Salam ladies - I'm looking for senegalese or african girlfriends in the dmv - I'm 30f, born in the states but very senegalese.. love to travel, cook, eat 🥲 and just try different activities! I've been traveling for work for the past 3 years but am planning to settle in the DMV for a bit.

I'm a practicing muslim and would love to have girlfriends who are as well ❤️

Hola ! Segueixo amb la Ruta per Senegal. I m.esteu ajudant molt ! Quins llocs, poblets, passeig en barca/piragua, platges recomanarieu per la Casamance. Lo més interessant, com travessar de Sud a Nord . Millor moure's amb lloguer de cotxe, transp. públic ? Moltes gràcies.

La Brigade de recherches de Dakar a démantelé un réseau présumé de trafic de faux billets, avec l’interpellation de six personnes lors d’opérations menées à Dakar, Mbour, Thiès et Louga. La contrevaleur des billets saisis dépasse un milliard de francs CFA, selon les informations communiquées par la gendarmerie.

I will be traveling to Dakar during the Junior Olympics, which is actually right around the corner! I need assistance with the following:

1) Female tour guide with a car

2) Best Dibi place.

3) Best place for an immaculate Thieb. I KNOW that the best place is someone's house but not sure if that will happen. I haven't had a LEGIT Thieb in YEARS. And this is despite going to Paris every year. The Thieb they serve in Paris is garbage. I am looking for a restaurant that will legitimately make a Thieb from scratch and serve it on a bed of colorful vegetables. If I have to order the day before, then so be it.

3) Best nightclub for Afro beats and dancing. I would like to avoid clubs that only attract women workers.

4) Best designers who I can buy off the rack.

If there is anything else I should check out, let me know! I have been to Dakar twice, but this is going to be a quick trip!

Thanks!
