Francine fled the Congo at age 10 and spent years in Uganda, living in a one-room apartment with her large family, where she made her own makeup with palm oil and whatever else she could find. Her family came to Winnipeg four years ago and in December 2017 she launched Queenfidence. Mikaela MacKenzie / Winnipeg Free Press 2018.
