Grigny, France (CNN)Hatouma Diarra doesn't want to be judged by the clothes she wears, by the religion she follows or, least of all, by where she grew up. But Diarra, raised by immigrants from Mali in the Paris suburb of Viry-Chatillon, says it's as if her neighborhood is stamped across her forehead. "It's hard to dream when everyone says the place you come from only spawns 'jihadists, terrorists and delinquents,'" the 21-year-old says. "You end up feeling completely isolated." Viry-Chatillon is just one of the many banlieues -- heavily immigrant, working class suburbs -- dotted around the periphery of the French capital. But its close proximity to Grigny has made the neighborhood synonymous with violence and failure.
