These are difficult times, this is the RESTAG of recent months, but tell me, my sister, tell me, my brother, when has it not been difficult for our black people, let alone our black sisters... since the abduction from AFRICA, we have been here fighting enormous battles against Eurocentric white supremacy. It is structural racism that sets the rules, it is racism that plants self-hatred, distances us from our ancestry, whitens our people, and kills us every day dressed in the uniform of the state.
"Life is painful, but I will not cry," not because we cannot cry, but because this role, in which we cannot show weakness or anything related to our feelings, is also imposed by racist society when it comes to gender.
But today, Casa Preta will not cry for our dead; today, it will celebrate another journey, another achievement, another victory. We have a member of the collective who deserves all our respect and admiration.
Ana Oliveira is a black woman, dancer, choreographer, and belly dance teacher who has been part of the Casa Preta team for a year.
Ana Oliveira applied and was selected by the Latinidades Festival and Feira Preta, where one of the objectives of the call is to generate income and support black women entrepreneurs in the creative economy, as a way to contribute to reducing the economic impacts of Covid-19. In addition, the call seeks to give visibility to the knowledge and work of black women entrepreneurs, democratize knowledge, and educate the public.
We at Casa Preta are happy for our sister and congratulate all the other black women who were selected for the call.
Rise up, black people!
