Alexis Onestas is a French entrepreneur and cultural bridge-builder.
Founder of OmaxBooks, a Paris-based publishing house dedicated to translating and amplifying the voices of African-American authors for more than 300 million French-speaking readers, he has introduced works by Issa Rae, Taraji P. Henson, Common, Rick Ross, and 50 Cent to new audiences across Europe and Africa.
In his book : TRANSLATION, Alexis shares the story behind this mission — how he turned inspiration into action, built unexpected connections between worlds, and met the very artists who shaped his vision. More than a memoir, this book is a testimony to perseverance, creativity, and the power of translation to unite cultures.
