PA T’MENTIR Nominated in the Web Series or Show Category: Gala Dynastie

Pas de mentir stands out as an original and necessary work in the Francophone media landscape. Led by Shelby Jean-Baptiste, actress and creator of the project, alongside Christian Antoine and Urbain Exanthus, the web series adopts the format of a cultural magazine that distinguishes itself through authenticity and relevance.

Broadcast for free on ICI TOU.TV by Radio-Canada, the show aims to demystify the realities experienced by Afro-descendant communities, while also opening the discussion to other groups from diverse backgrounds. “Even though this term is not always appreciated, we all know what it represents, and it remains necessary to name it,” the team emphasizes.

The uniqueness of Pas de mentir lies in its unprecedented formula: for the first time, three Afro-descendant hosts with different backgrounds share the stage. This diversity of experiences and perspectives fuels rich and nuanced conversations. The topics covered—ranging from cultural questions to social issues—resonate with the audience and provide concrete avenues for reflection.

The goal is not only to inform, but also to create a space where viewers can extend the discussion. Whether with family, friends, at school, or at work, Pas de mentir encourages opening dialogue and addressing sometimes complex themes with openness and sincerity.

The show’s success goes beyond its enthusiastic reception. This year, Pas de mentir has been nominated for the Best Web Television Show Award. The public also has the opportunity to vote for the Coup de cœur Award, a distinction that directly reflects the audience’s attachment.

For Shelby Jean-Baptiste, this recognition carries special meaning:

“It is even more moving to be recognized by one’s peers, by people from Afro communities. It touches me deeply.”

A sentiment shared by her co-hosts, who see in this nomination a sign of encouragement and validation of the work accomplished.

Beyond honors, Pas de mentir asserts itself as a project with a clear mission: to give a voice to those who are too often made invisible. By deconstructing stereotypes and highlighting authentic stories, the web series enriches the Francophone cultural landscape and contributes to better representation of Afro-descendant communities.

Available online on ICI TOU.TV, as well as on Instagram, Pas de mentir appeals to a wide audience—curious and eager to better understand the diversity that shapes our societies. The show thus presents itself as much more than simple entertainment: a tool for reflection, dialogue, and collective recognition.
