Madame Rap has always been a space for voices that don’t get heard enough. Women in rap. LGBTQIA+ artists. Stories that disturb. Subjects we’d rather ignore.
For several months, the platform was on pause. Not because the adventure was over, but because another one had begun.
Éloïse Bouton, founder of Madame Rap, co-created ELDA with D’ de Kabal, rapper, author, and theater director: the first French-language coaching program for couples who want to heal together after sexual violence experienced outside of their current relationship. A couple themselves and both survivors of incest and sexual violence, they created the program they would have wanted to find.
They just successfully wrapped up a crowdfunding campaign that brought together nearly 100 supporters in less than a month, proof that this project meets a real need.
And they’ve decided to launch a podcast.
Why This Podcast Is Coming Out on Madame Rap
This podcast is coming out on Madame Rap because this outlet has existed for ten years to make visible what gets made invisible: women and LGBTQIA+ artists in rap. Survivors are also voices we struggle to hear (and especially to listen to) in our society. It’s the same fight in another form.
So it was only natural (obvious, even) that their first long public conversation would find its home here.
What You’re Going to Hear
A conversation of more than 1 hour and 20 minutes, unfiltered and unscripted. Their journey as survivors. The origins of ELDA. Trauma, peer support, healing as a couple. And things they had never said publicly before.
This podcast isn’t an interview. It’s a conversation between two people who know each other, trust each other, whose paths mirror one another, and who have become experts on their own victimhood.
