Baba Wagué Diakité: Hello. My name is Baba Wagué Diakité. I am from Mali, West Africa.
My name, Baba Wagué, was given to me by my mother in honor of her own father. Baba means "father." Wagué means "the man I trust," and Diakité means "hold onto my back." It is a pleasure for me to carry this name and live up to their meanings as well.
