One of my African Sims is Fatou Sembène, a West African artist and fashion entrepreneur. She is named after Ousmane Sembène, the Senegalese director, artist and women's rights activist - also known as the “father of African film” and one of his characters played by Fatoumata Coulibaly.
If you want any of the cc I used, I listed the cc for Fatou here on my tumblr post and regarding the furniture, here is the list.
{What Fatou stands for - trigger alert, against abuse}
And if you've made it this far, just for information's sake and to raise awareness, I based my Sim on Ousmane Sembène's character because he addressed and condemned the controversial issue of FGM - if you don't know what it is, that's the ritual cutting of little girls' private parts, which is not only done in Africa (over 80% of girls in my country of birth), but is being practiced legally in the United States (in 27 states there is still no legislation to prohibit it). There's a link here(http://msmagazine.com/blog/2015/03/14/female-genital-mutilation-isnt-just-an-african-problem/) if you want to learn more about it. Thank you for listening and sorry if I hurt your sensitivity !
