She is Brazil’s most compelling defender of Black feminism. Thinker, author and professor Djamila Ribeiro has been instrumental in calling out structural racism and pushing for societal change, be it in publishing or in politics. Ribeiro joins us to speak about her deeply private guide “Letters to my grandmother”, which recounts her personal expertise as a younger lady and displays upon the socio-political context that her mom and grandmother have been navigating in Twentieth-century Brazil. Ribeiro has used her public platform to spice up feminist and anti-racist campaigns, discussing the “talking place” that every particular person inhabits, a key idea in her best-selling textual content “The place We stand”, by which she explains why a number of identities inform particular person views.
