They both share the same curly locks and brown skin.

Once Kenzo saw Antonio, he couldnt look away.

He immediately gravitated towards the image of Antonio,Brand said.

And I thoughtEncantowas the first movie film on any aspect that touched upon Afro Latina and Latinos and Colombia.

Brand posted the photos of Kenzo transfixed on Antonio on the little boy’s Instagram account,@katchingupwithkenzo.

The post went viral, which she views as a sign that it resonated with others.
