==Life==
Born in [Dori, Burkina Faso](/source/Dori%2C_Burkina_Faso), Aminata Diallo is one of nine children of Hassane Diallo, a veterinary doctor, and Mandy Togoyéni. She hoped as a child to be a doctor, but her father died in 1983, when she was in high school. She continued her education in [Wemtenga](/source/W%E1%BA%BDmtenga), a district of [Ouagadougou](/source/Ouagadougou). After encountering [Théâtre de la fraternité](/source/Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_de_la_fraternit%C3%A9), the theatre troupe of [Jean-Pierre Guingané](/source/Jean-Pierre_Guingan%C3%A9), she joined the troupe after school. Instead of taking up a place to study linguistics at the University of Ouagadougou, she became a full-time actor, touring with Théâtre de la fraternité.<ref name=LeFaso/>

In the early 1990s [Fanta Regina Nacro](/source/Fanta_Regina_Nacro) offered her a role in the film ''Puk-Nini'', which started Diallo's new career as a screen actress. As the principal heroine of the TV series ''Kadi jolie'', she acquired an Africa-wide following.<ref name=LeFaso/>

She started her own TV production company, Jovial Productions, which has produced series including 'Trois hommes, un village' (winner of Best Series at [FESPACO](/source/FESPACO) 2005), ''Trois femmes, un village'' and ''Super flics'' (or ''Marc and Malika''). In 2006 she also founded an art festival, "Fet' Arts".<ref name=LeFaso/>

She is married to [Damien Glez](/source/Damien_Glez), the cartoonist for ''[Jeune Afrique](/source/Jeune_Afrique)''.<ref>[https://www.pressafrik.com/Qui-est-Damien-Glez-le-caricaturiste-de-Jeune-Afrique_a145856.html Qui est Damien Glez, le caricaturiste de Jeune Afrique?], ''Press Afrik'', 29 January 2016.
