Who is scared of black feminism?
Inspired by the book Who is Scared of Black Feminism (Quem tem Medo do Feminismo Negro?) written by Djamila Ribeiro – a Brazilian Black feminist philosopher, journalist and writer.
Yemanjá, a rainha do mar
“Mother of the Sea” or “Queen of the Ocean.” Yemanjá (or Iemanjá) is a revered goddess in Afro-Brazilian religions, particularly in Candomblé and Umbanda. A culture inherited from Africans in the forced diaspora during the centuries of slavery and compulsory labor trafficking, this female orixá also gained a significance that evokes ancestry.

,
A gentle curve, a simple comma,
A pause, a choice–
A path defined, redefined.
Modest, yet deeply wise,
It alters the future, opens possibilities,
Leads to the unknown.
If destiny is written, can a comma shift divine sight?
A humble mark, a silent guide–
A nuance, a shift in tide.
A gentle curve, a simple comma.
