With so much news about black women focusing on the negative, it’s always refreshing to see good news about black women! And it’s also good to see the words “sisters around the globe who are making news” and the mention of Africa’s richest women. Focusing on the global, I would like to add that there are a number of black Brazilian women making news. As in the US, black women are usually on the bottom of society in Brazil as well. But Identification with being black continues to grow in Brazil, a nation that always discouraged persons of African descent to identify with blackness, natural afro textured hair, etc. Perhaps “THE” black woman of Brazil today would be actress Taís Araújo, a woman who has a number of “the first black woman to…” titles to her credit.
I love this idea! And that artwork. Please keep em coming
