<div>✊ Legal Support for Maïmouna – Standing for Artistic Integrity &amp; Dignity

</div>
<div>*Update – Current situation*
</div>
<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Maïmouna Coulibaly.
</div>
<div>I’m a choreographer, performer, writer, and founder of Booty Therapy — a method rooted in liberation through dance, voice, rage, and joy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past months, I’ve had to face complex and costly legal situations in Germany and France, in order to protect my work, my authorship, and my dignity as a Black feminist artist.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>An important update
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since this campaign was launched, the situation has evolved:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– One of the cases initially mentioned was not pursued further, as the person concerned changed their positioning and no longer claimed continuity with my work.
</div>
<div>– In another case, a protocol agreement has been signed. While it does not grant everything I initially sought, it secures essential protections. Due to confidentiality, I cannot share further details.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These legal steps were nevertheless necessary, urgent, and expensive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where things stand today
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So far, legal fees amount to over €11,000, covering work already carried out by lawyers in Germany and France.
</div>
<div>Thanks to your support, part of these costs has already been covered — but a significant amount still needs to be financed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to deeply thank the people who have already supported this campaign, as well as those who have shown up in many other ways — through events, messages, presence, and care. This support has already made a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign is one step in a longer process of repair and protection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Goal: €8,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This amount reflects what remains to be covered after initial fundraising efforts, as well as ongoing and unavoidable legal expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ Please note: GoFundMe applies platform and transaction fees, which slightly reduce the net amount received. Transparency matters to me, and I want you to know this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✨ This legal support campaign is separate from my artistic and activist projects, yet deeply connected to the same commitment: protecting creative work, dignity, and justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How you can support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– Contribute what feels right for you
</div>
<div>– Share this campaign within your networks
</div>
<div>– Leave a message of support — they truly carry me
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love, fire, clarity, and determination,
</div>
<div>Maïmouna

<div>✊ Legal Support for Maïmouna – A Fight for Dignity
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(en français plus bas)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Maïmouna Coulibaly.
</div>
<div>I’m a choreographer, performer, writer, and founder of Booty Therapy — a method rooted in liberation through dance, voice, rage, and joy.
</div>
<div>My work has always been about body freedom, ancestral memory, and reclaiming space as a Black feminist artist.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, I need your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m facing a complex and costly legal situation in both Germany and France.
</div>
<div>This is about protecting my artistic integrity, my method, and my dignity — against attempts to silence me, erase my work, and deny my authorship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s the reality:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– In Germany, I’ve already started paying: I’ve contributed €1,500 so far, out of the nearly €6,000 requested for the initial phases
</div>
<div>– In France, I will need 3,000 to 4,000 € to begin the necessary legal action
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Goal: 8,000 €
</div>
<div>This covers what is already due and what’s clearly coming — but it may increase depending on how the cases evolve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ I will update this page transparently as needed.
</div>
<div>✨ This legal campaign is separate from other public or activist projects I lead — such as my artistic manifesto — but it comes from the same fire: standing for truth, freedom, and justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How you can help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– Donate what you can: 5 €, 20 €, 50 €… every drop helps build the river
</div>
<div>– Whether you give 5 €, 10 €, or 100 €, you’re helping me stand up for justice
</div>
<div>– Share this campaign in your network
</div>
<div>– Leave a message of support — it gives me strength
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love, fire, vulnerability and determination,
</div>
<div>Maïmouna

<div>*Mise à jour - Situation actuelle*
</div>
<div>✊ Soutien juridique pour Maïmouna – Pour l’intégrité artistique et la dignité
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bonjour à toutes et tous,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je m’appelle Maïmouna Coulibaly.
</div>
<div>Je suis chorégraphe, performeuse, autrice, et fondatrice de Booty Therapy — une méthode ancrée dans la libération par la danse, la voix, la colère et la joie.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ces derniers mois, j’ai dû faire face à des situations juridiques complexes et coûteuses, en Allemagne et en France, afin de protéger mon travail, mon autorité artistique et ma dignité en tant qu’artiste féministe noire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mise à jour importante
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Depuis le lancement de cette cagnotte, la situation a évolué :
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– L’une des affaires initialement évoquées n’a finalement pas été poursuivie, la personne concernée ayant changé de positionnement et cessé toute revendication de continuité avec mon travail.
</div>
<div>– Dans une autre affaire, un protocole a été signé. S’il ne m’accorde pas tout ce que je souhaitais initialement, il garantit des protections essentielles. En raison de la confidentialité, je ne peux pas en dire davantage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ces démarches juridiques ont néanmoins été nécessaires, urgentes et coûteuses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Où en est la situation aujourd’hui
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>À ce jour, les frais juridiques s’élèvent à plus de 11 000 €, correspondant au travail déjà effectué par des avocat·es en Allemagne et en France.
</div>
<div>Grâce à votre soutien, une partie de ces frais a déjà pu être couverte — mais un montant important reste à financer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je tiens à remercier profondément les personnes qui ont déjà soutenu cette cagnotte, ainsi que celles et ceux qui m’ont soutenue de multiples autres façons — à travers des événements, des messages, une présence, une attention. Ce soutien a déjà fait une réelle différence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cette cagnotte s’inscrit comme une étape dans un processus plus long de réparation et de protection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Objectif : 8 000 €
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ce montant correspond à ce qu’il reste à financer après les premières actions de solidarité, ainsi qu’aux frais juridiques en cours et inévitables.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ À noter : GoFundMe applique des frais de plateforme et de transaction, ce qui réduit légèrement le montant net reçu. La transparence est importante pour moi, et je tenais à le préciser.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✨ Cette campagne de soutien juridique est distincte de mes projets artistiques et militants, tout en étant profondément reliée au même engagement : défendre la création, la dignité et la justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Comment soutenir
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– Contribuer selon ce qui est juste pour vous
</div>
<div>– Partager cette cagnotte autour de vous
</div>
<div>– Laisser un message de soutien — ils me portent réellement
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Merci d’être à mes côtés.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Avec amour, feu, clarté et détermination,
</div>
<div>Maïmouna

<div>✊ Soutien juridique pour Maïmouna – Pour mes droits et ma dignité
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je m’appelle Maïmouna Coulibaly.
</div>
<div>Je suis chorégraphe, performeuse, autrice et fondatrice de la Booty Therapy — une méthode de libération du corps et de la voix, nourrie par la rage, la joie et la mémoire ancestrale.
</div>
<div>Mon travail est profondément engagé : il porte la liberté, le refus de l’effacement, et la puissance des marges.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aujourd’hui, j’ai besoin de votre soutien.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je suis engagée dans une situation juridique complexe et coûteuse, à la fois en Allemagne et en France.
</div>
<div>Je me bats pour défendre mon intégrité artistique, ma méthode, et ma dignité — face aux tentatives de harcèlement, de récupération, de silenciation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Voici la réalité :
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– En Allemagne, j’ai déjà commencé à payer : j’ai versé 1 500 € sur les près de 6 000 € demandés pour les premières phases
</div>
<div>– En France, une avocate m’a annoncé entre 3 000 et 4 000 € pour initier la procédure
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Objectif : 8 000 €
</div>
<div>Cela couvre ce qui est engagé et ce qui arrive — mais la somme pourrait encore augmenter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ Je mettrai cette page à jour en toute transparence si besoin.
</div>
<div>✨ Cette démarche juridique est distincte d’autres projets militants ou publics que je mène en parallèle, comme mon manifeste artistique — mais elle s’enracine dans la même urgence : dire la vérité, protéger mon œuvre et revendiquer la justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Comment m’aider :
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>– Donne ce que tu peux : 5 €, 20 €, 50 €… chaque geste compte
</div>
<div>– Que tu donnes 5 €, 10 € ou 100 €, tu m’aides à me tenir debout face à l’injustice
</div>
<div>– Partage cette campagne autour de toi
</div>
<div>– Laisse un mot de soutien : ça me porte, profondément
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Merci du fond du cœur.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Avec amour, feu, vulnérabilité et détermination,
</div>
<div>Maïmouna
