Foreword: Olivier Lapidus

My name is Mason Cyrille Elong Ewing. My mother Marie died when I was barely 4 years old. She left behind a child with a fragile destiny. In Cameroon, my nickname was Toro. For a better life, I then travelled to France to live with my aunt and uncle. I was promised this would be a wonderful experience, but nobody told me it would be hell. I become, Lucien, a slave. When I was 14, I fell into a coma. When I woke up, I had become blind. My destiny had no color and became increasingly darker, until one day I was able to create a little hope, a little light and a few bursts of color. Today, I have turned my misfortunes into victories and I wanted to share my story to inspire the world. Even though I can no longer see, my eyes are wide open to contemplate my Destiny. The one I have chosen.
