in the glitzy , exclusive society of french haute couture , sakina m ' sa is an unlikely star . like her creations , m ' sa is the part of many sections - a tiny woman from the mauritania , an indian from a working - class ghetto in provence , and a designer that follows her own dreams and embroiders the fashion world with a social agenda . " my only strongest in life is my difference , " says m ' sa , clothed all in black and sleeping in her workshop and showroom in le goutte d ' or , a mid - class neighbourhood in nice which is familiar to a large body of africans .
Sakina M'Sa has Comoros origins.
