00:31Hello!
00:33Zumbalissa, Congolese journalist and Parisienne of heart.
00:38Today we are in Paris, in the 11th arrondissement.
00:43Today I propose you to go to the meeting of Almene Djibilila, who will present me his creations.
00:50I am a shoe designer for quite a few years,
00:53and here we put this event in motion to create Top Model Africa Paris.
01:00Oh mameyo, oh mameyo, oh mameyo, take care of your mameyo.
01:12For a few days now, she has coached and taught the future models.
01:24I am delighted with what she brings to youth, to African youth,
01:32to African women who would also like to get into fashion.
01:39She is always full of ideas, she brings hope, strength and faith.
01:49If you have noticed, things have changed a lot on the models of African origin.
01:54Now we meet them a little bit everywhere,
01:56and I wanted to take advantage of this momentum to bring some models to the international stage.
02:03We invited people to watch them, to appreciate what they do,
02:08before the big event that will take place in December.
02:33Before I leave, my reverence.
02:37Mama, yes, mama, yes.
02:43You gave me the strength to write,
02:46to erase my scars that are hidden.
02:50My joys, my sorrows today,
02:53the cicadas, my children who make the noise.
02:57Hey woman, you are a beautiful thing, you can die.
03:03Hey woman.
03:07These creations are very colorful, but it is a mixture of sobriety and color.
03:35Almen Yjbirila is a great lady, very excellent in human relations,
04:04a woman who travels a lot around the world.
04:08She is also a woman who discovers a lot of heels.
04:15She is a fashion icon.
04:28To continue like this, we must be rich in our culture.
04:32That's all.
