DIA DA MULHER NEGRA

LATINA & CARIBENHA

These illustrations were inspired by some of the women represented and celebrated on July 25, the International Day of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women. In Brazil, the date also honors Tereza de Benguela, a prominent quilombola leader and a symbol of strength and collective organization for thousands of women who continue to endure the harsh realities and lasting consequences of colonization.
