"We accept and recognize that we have roots that connect us, which is Africa, but taking into account those roots, we also express the territory where we're from: the Colombian Pacific and its expressions. These expressions characterize us as people. Each one of Francia's outfits evokes that. It gives a name and visualizes our land."
