Black is beautifull, la beauté noire mise au devant de la scène

L’année 2019 resteras sans doute l’année de plusieurs pendant encore longtemps, elle a été riche en évènement pour la communauté noire du monde entier.

Entre la création de la marque Fenty de la chanteuse Rihanna au sein du groupe LVMH et de la Tyler Perry studio, le BLACK EXCELLENCE a été au rendez-vous mais pas que du coté des affaires,

En effet en plus de la Sud-africaine Zozibini Tunzi qui a été sacrée Miss univers 2020 récemment par Steve Harvey à l’Arena d’Atlanta, d’autres femmes noires ont remportées des prestigieux concours de beauté en Amérique telle que Naimani Franklin, Cheslie Kryst, Kaliegh Garris qui ont été respectivement Miss America, Miss USA et Miss Ten USA.

De l’autre côté du globe, le vieux continent a fait de même le 14 décembre dernier. Pendant qu’à Londres se déroulait la compétition de beauté la plus réputée d’Europe au cours de laquelle la jamaïcaine Toni Ahn Sigh et la française Ophélie Mezino ont été élue Miss world et première dauphine miss world 2020,

La France élisait à son tour sa reine de beauté et parmi les 30 concurrentes, le choix des français s’est porté sur la guadeloupéenne Clémence Botino. A 22 ans, la jeune femme poursuit un master d’histoire de la Mode à l’université de la Sorbonne.

Face à une population vieillissante, son projet professionnel consiste à devenir conservatrice de patrimoine, en devenant miss France elle désire faire entendre sa voix pour promouvoir la transmission entre les différentes générations afin de conserver au mieux l’histoire et le patrimoine Français.

The launch of the Congolese Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain (CCCGB)

On Saturday 9th September, held at the centre of London in Mayfair, the launch of the Congolese Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain (CCCGB) was something a lot of Congolese professionals were waiting for.

The venue was beautifully chosen. Located off Bond Street, one of London’s busiest street, the venue accommodated those who were ready to hear what this launch had to offer.

I arrived a few minutes late, I am not a Londoner so I got lost on the way, and the event had started at 2.30 pm prompt exactly as it said it would. As I walked in, a young man called Baraka had the microphone. He was passionate about the changed that he, as well as what the CCCGB can do for the future of businesses in Congo.

I attended the event with limited expectations. Something like this can easily be turned into a charade of people with several opinions which do not lead to anyone finding out what CCCGB is about. That perception was quickly squashed when I was sat in front of a panel of individuals based in Congo, Britain and France from different fields, including law, business management and development as well as investment and agriculture.

Whilst each attendee came with their own agenda, I personally left feeling empowered. I found myself in a room surrounded with business minded people who are aware of the potential of Congo and want to harness it for the country to grow.  After spending several moments with the rest of the guests I can say that I was not the only person who felt that way.

I would ultimately say that this launch event was a success! I and the ESIMBI team are excited and eager to see what the CCCGB will do to help the development of business relations between the 2 countries.
