Can we take a moment to appreciate the new Miss France, Flora Coquerel. This half Beninoise beauty will represent France at the Miss Universe pageant in 2014. Unfortunately, she has already been subjected to racist backlash through social media. The International Business student has responded by saying, “I’m proud to represent a multicultural France”. She is pictured with her mother in the last photograph.

I used to like to set different film clips to classical music, not even my own songs, but make little movies. If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist. I’m a writer first and a singer second. I started editing my own videos when I was 17, so it’s a process I’ve been doing since I was younger.
