The Senegalese Character Analysis

In "Jumping Monkey Hill," the Senegalese is a young francophone woman attending the writers' conference at Jumping Monkey Hill. She's the youngest attendee and writes an autobiographical story about coming out to her parents as lesbian. She's astounded and offended when Edward says the story is implausible and not representative of Africa, but she doesn't think it's worth saying anything about Edward's inappropriate comments.
