The inaugural "Sublime Côte d’Ivoire Day" in the United States unfolded with great success on November 14, 2024, at the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire in Washington, D.C., uniting American investors, business leaders, and cultural ambassadors in a celebration of Ivorian tourism and investment opportunities.




Among the distinguished panelists was Johanne, founder of Klaman&Co, whose mission to promote African and Ivorian culture resonates deeply with the event's goals. As an Ivorian cultural advocate based in San Diego, Johanne has dedicated her work to fostering cross-cultural connections. Her efforts recently earned recognition from the Mayor of San Marcos and the Mayor of Lemon Grove, highlighting her commitment to inclusivity and community empowerment.




The event, led by Dr. Klo Fagama, representing Minister Siandou Fofana, and Ambassador Mathieu Touré, emphasized Côte d’Ivoire's potential as a premier tourism destination. Through the "Sublime Côte d’Ivoire" initiative, participants explored the country’s pristine beaches, UNESCO-listed parks, and vibrant cultural traditions.




Johanne contributed to the conversation by sharing insights from Klaman&Co’s success in showcasing African textiles and artistry, underscoring the transformative power of cultural exchange. Her vision aligns with the event’s focus on collaboration, sustainability, and innovation in tourism and hospitality.




As the evening unfolded, participants celebrated the bridges being built between Côte d’Ivoire and the U.S., embodying a shared responsibility to promote cultural appreciation and sustainable growth.
