Thank you so much for editing my page. This page has been changed, edited, so many times by people who don't know me or my story. I am the person that this page is about. This is not a marketing or promotional page. I am an editor and contributor to the tech community and Wikipedia understands the ethics and the rules but some of the articles posted where misrepresented me.
Kindly help me correct some of the misinformation/misrepresentations on the page. This is my personal website: https://mariemejamme.com/about-me/ Thank you for your kind support. Happy to jump on a call for any clarification needed.
I also would like to have the page locked for vandalism reasons. I am writing my first book to share my story, I have been through a lot in my life and must be protected.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hello there.
The entire page is wrong, my career and my early life. I don't think I have had a career but the more accurate word is a Biography. I would prefer that my bio is taken from my own website. www.mariemejamme.com I am writing my book to tell my story.
I hope you can help me change the page, if not please delete my page. I love Wikipedia but this page does not represent me or my work.
I was invited by CNN in 2012 to talk about the Diaspora, living in the UK. I was trying to explain how the Senegalese class system has failed me. I tried to explain the situation about my mother (born from an aristocrat family in Senegal, died in January 2019) and the Father (I never knew). The moment was stressful. Time was short and I could not explain all the details.
I could not explain my life entire story. I never said I got an MBA, I was studying at the University of Surrey to improve my english and writing and got some personal problems. I was speaking english with the French Journalist, she translated the article and mispresented my words.
The Italian Journalist from Republica misrepresented me, I actually sat with her, got her coffee. I was sad to read that I terminated the interview. She pushed me that day. She was harassing me daily... Here is her message: <Hello Marieme, this is Rosita Rijtano from the Italian newspaper La Repubblica and I would love to interview you. Do you have half an hour to dedicate me after 5 pm, please? This interview is very important for me and the newspaper :) >
I gave her plenty of time. This was in Barcelona at MWC where my Foundation was featured. I work with Refugees and marginalised girls. She never asked about the CNN Interview (that is false).
.....>>In a 2019 interview, Italian newspaper La Repubblica raised these discrepancies, however Jamme terminated the interview and did not comment.[11] La Repubblica commented that she had a personal history that is "as romantic as it is dubious".[11] >>>

The opening of the page is aimed to discredit my decades of work. I would appreciate if this is changed. It hurt and it's false. Mjamme ( talk) 09:47, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello, all. In an attempt to reconcile some of the issues raised in the template and make this article more accurate, I'll be editing this article in the coming 48 hours, adding a few corrections and updates to the text. The corrections are based on extensive research and a personal interview with subject of the article, which included receiving access to her personal archive. If there is any change that you believe is incorrect, please let me know. I've made an effort to include as many references as possible, but some online sources are simply incorrect and it could be that I might have missed something. Best, Shani Evenstein. ( talk) 12:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
In light of the discussion above, I thought it would be useful to compile potential sources for various parts of the article, to help navigate the complex and rather confusing reference situation. (Some of these are already being used in the article. I'm including some self-published ones or others that quote Jamme directly - although, as mentioned, independent third-party publications are preferable.)
I'm starting below with a list focused on statements about Jamme's MBA degree and her higher education in general.
