"When I was a teenager, there was no significant representation of African people on the television. Now thanks to social media the situation is improving, but before all there was, were few African American pop icons."

Aissetou Jaiteh and Adjo Cuccia are the founders of the fashion label "African Queens". The two entrepreneurs were looking for a way to use beautiful African fabrics, usually meant only for great occasions, in their everyday wear. Since 2015 they have been exploring their African heritage through fabrics and patterns, while finding a way to blend their dual Italian and African identity.
