“I would like to thank the organizers of Congo in Harlem for consistently highlighting Congolese culture and heritage. They have provided a remarkable platform to showcase Congolese film, music, art and intellect to the global community. I am glad to be a part of such an initiative that promotes the best that Congo has to offer to the world community.”
