Biography
Diallo was born in Thiaroye, Senegal in 1971, the eldest of twenty-five children. His father was a rifleman in the Algerian War. He disliked his father as a child, opposed to his conservatism. He received a law degree from the Lycée Seydina-Limamou-Laye in Pikine.
Since c. 2000, Diallo has worked as an activist to remember French slavery in the city of Bourdeaux. He is the founder and director of Mémoires et Partages, an organization that has helped Bourdeaux recognize its history. He also founded Mémoires & partages, an education organisation to help remember French slavery. In 2019, after the unveiling of Woodly Caymitte's sculpture of Modeste Testas, Diallo criticised it, saying one who was freed cannot represent the struggles of slavery.
