Career

Ludowsky was born in Martinique. At the end of the 1980s the family moved to metropolitan France. She completed a bank apprenticeship and worked in the finance department of BNP Paribas for eleven years before being fired as part of a restructuring of the bank. On May 29th, she published the online petition Pour une Baisse des Prix du Carburant à la Pompe! with the aim of lowering taxes on goods of general use, especially mineral oil taxes , and the pensions and salaries of senior and elected officials. Together with Éric Drouet, she called on social media for Saturday, November 17, 2018 for the first nationwide protest by the yellow vests, which continued on a weekly basis. The online petition was signed by 1.25 million French people. Since then, Ludosky and Drouet have had several inconclusive meetings with senior government officials. Up until now, Ludosky has not been ready to join a political party or be put on an election list for an election.

Ludosky lives in Savigny-le-Temple in the Île-de-France region and runs a cosmetics store there.
