PORTRAIT. Avec en perspective une capitale africaine, cette entrepreneure culturelle a déjà posé son Pavillon des lettres d’Afrique à Paris, Bruxelles et bientôt Genève.
Elle en a les yeux qui pétillent. C’est fréquent chez Aminata Diop-Johnson lorsqu’elle commence à parler des littératures africaines. Rien qu’à l’évocation de ses projets à venir, dont la seconde édition du Pavillon des lettres d’Afrique au sein du Salon du livre de Paris (du 16 au 19 mars 2018) et un peu avant la Foire du livre de Bruxelles (du 22 au 25 février 2018), cette femme toujours tirée à quatre épingles et joviale n’en dort plus, selon ses plus proches collaborateurs, tant sa passion est dévorante.
Le livre au cœur de l’engagement d’Aminata Diop-Johnson
Du haut de son mètre soixante-quinze, cheveux longs jusqu’aux épaules impeccablement lissés au fer, rouge à lèvres discret, petit chemisier, pantalon de tailleur, sans oublier ses éternels talons aiguilles, Aminata Diop-Johnson mène son monde depuis son téléphone mobile. Le petit objet collé à son oreille semble faire des miracles ! Les appels s’enchaînent parfois depuis l’autre bout de la Côte d’Ivoire, du Sénégal ou encore du Congo. Entre-temps, sous nos yeux, Aminata a aussi envoyé des e-mails en Belgique, un sms à ses enfants (elle a deux adolescents) pour surveiller leurs devoirs, et dispatcher le travail à ses collaborateurs. Il vaut mieux être bien accroché pour suivre le rythme fou que s’est imposé cette experte dans l’organisation de grands salons, passée par les boîtes françaises et internationales les plus prestigieuses. « Donnez-lui une idée et elle vous la transforme en évènement ! » témoigne une de ses meilleures amies.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I value the blog post. Really Great.
Thank you for posting this awesome article. I’m a long time reader but I’ve never been compelled to leave a comment. I subscribed to your blog and shared this on my Twitter. Thanks again for a great post!
I gotta favorite this site it seems very beneficial very useful
I just want to mention I am beginner to weblog and actually loved your page. More than likely I’m planning to bookmark your website . You absolutely have very good articles and reviews. Thanks a lot for revealing your web-site.
Thanks for sharing, this is a fantastic post.Much thanks again. Great.
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch!
I really like your writing style, wonderful information, appreciate it for putting up :D. “Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil’s reach as humility.” by Johathan Edwards.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
