Aissa Maiga, age 35, is a Senegal-born French actress and the highest paid black actress in France. Her latest films include L'avocat and L'aide au retour.

What appalls me about Aissa is the fact she can retain her natural African substance without having to change into more Caucasian characteristics. I admire the fact the highest paid  black actress in France is a Black woman who actually reserves her African heritage and doesn't try to assimilate into Westernized culture by attempting to look more Caucasian. I wonder if it is just North America that prefers their Black celebrities to be more "mainstream" (or Caucasian looking) because of their racial past. Perhaps the French enjoy and like Aissa Maiga the way she naturally is....which is refreshing to see!

  1. She is most beautiful. Her eyes are so expressive. They have something to say. However, I don't know if Canadian Gurl recognizes what is now happening in U.S. cinema. Women like Angela Bassett, Viola Davis, Gabrielle Union, and Regina King have proved their abilities and talents on the big screen. They are darker complexioned celebrities that have enjoyed major success in great roles. Things are changing (maybe not fast enough). But they are changing.
