The sisters, who now live in Buenos Aires and work as role models, recounted the ordeal they had with friends at the Antares brewery. "At the entrance, the security told us that we could not enter because the owner had ordered us not to let the blacks in. That broke my soul. There are two years ago we had gone to Capital precisely because all our teenage years happened to us this type of things"Marioska wrote.
