Kindy Alexis, a Guadeloupean entrepreneur, is taking a creative approach to athletic representation by launching two complementary planning products that put the spotlight on accomplished sports figures from France’s overseas territories. Unveiled in Paris on November 4, the new agenda and planner for 2027 serve distinct but complementary purposes, according to reporting from Guadeloupe La 1ère.
The agenda functions as a traditional weekly organizer for appointments and scheduling, while the planner offers a more comprehensive tool for structuring projects and tracking their progress. Each product features twelve portraits of athletes, with the planner and agenda together showcasing 24 sports personalities from Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana. Among those honored are Guadeloupean skipper Kéni Piperol, Guianese athlete Gémina Joseph, and Martinican sportswoman Mandy François-Elie.
Alexis, founder of "Pakome les autres," designed both tools around a central mission: making the journeys of overseas athletes visible and providing role models for people from these territories. "It is important for us, the overseas population, to have models from our own communities," she explained to the outlet. Her goal is for these success stories to inspire others to pursue their own ambitions, demonstrating that achievement is possible regardless of geographic origin.
The project extends beyond paper products through integrated QR codes that link users to filmed interviews with the featured athletes. These video segments allow the sports figures to discuss the obstacles they faced and how they overcame them, offering practical inspiration alongside their professional accomplishments. The planners and agendas also distinguish themselves through Creole proverbs woven throughout the pages, grounding the products in the cultural heritage of the territories they celebrate.
Kindy Alexis operates "Pakome les autres," an initiative focused on promoting and celebrating figures from France’s overseas territories. The new agenda and planner project represents an expansion of her efforts to increase visibility and recognition for accomplished athletes across the Caribbean and South American French territories.
This initiative directly addresses representation and visibility for Caribbean and overseas French athletes, providing role models for young people across Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana. The project celebrates regional sports achievements and uses cultural elements like Creole language to reinforce Caribbean identity and pride.
