Our Story
Black in Brazil is more than just an online magazine: it celebrates the rich Afro-Brazilian culture by giving individuals a platform to share their story.
I remember living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and very seldom experiencing someone outside of my immediate family who found my curly hair or "not-so-light" skin beautiful.
"True beauty" was when you were fortunate enough to be born with white skin and straight hair. After living in the United States for several years, I began to appreciate the numerous movements that educate and celebrate the country's African culture. These events led me to think about my native country and how much of it is influenced by the Africans who were taken from their homes to be sold into slavery; and even after they were "freed," racism continued to flourish.
Recently, there has been an increase in media attention on those of African descent in Brazil; however, the issue is still just as serious as it has always been. I was motivated to start a project that brings awareness to Brazilians of African descent after a few conversations with individuals studying to become educators who were not aware that Afro- Brazilians existed. This bothered me. I decided to come up with a way to combine my talents with the idea of increasing awareness while including people who suffer from racism in Brazil.
