Roukiata Ouedraogo's column: Influencers, red carpets, and dog food

Franco-Burkinabé comedian Roukiata Ouedraogo, in her column "Tendances," offers a witty perspective on urban trends. She highlights the significant rise of influencers, who are now achieving a level of fame comparable to film actors, a phenomenon underscored by the recent Cannes Film Festival. Ouedraogo contrasts this with the ongoing dispute between artists and the television network Canal+.

While acknowledging her interest in the "eternal battle between good conscience and great predation," Ouedraogo finds the current era lacking in glamour from this perspective. She suggests that the focus on influencer culture and the entertainment industry's internal conflicts overshadows deeper societal trends.

The column, published by Le Temps, is part of a series where contributors share their views. The publication clarifies that these opinions reflect the authors' perspectives and not the newspaper's official stance.
