The Congolese designer has grown her direct-to-consumer business entirely through social media, and has been featured in Forbes, British Vogue, Billboard and Elle. In May 2020, the brand hosted a 3-D fashion show on Instagram live for their Pink Label Congo line, which interprets the spirit of and disparities within African culture through fashion.
