“It’s great. The turnout is unbelievable. So many more people than we expected to come see what is Congo ... It’s about artists, it’s about intellectuals, it's about different and interesting parts of the world. We have all come together as Africans, and we want peace in our country. All the youths coming together. The fashion, the designers of the fashion show event are all from Congo. So it’s really Congo, the girls, the mission of Congo and positiveness.”
