III Black Brazilian Consciousness Abroad
The Brazilian Consciousness Month Celebrations in New York and New Jersey are now in their third year, and this edition honors the culture and journeys of Black Brazilians living in the USA.
​
In partnership with Quilombo NYC (@quilombonyc), and sponsorship of the Consulate General of Brazil in NYC, Lehman Center for Brazilian Studies, ILAS Columbia, Mantena Global Care, and NJPAC, we delivered ​a program featuring panels with scholars, artists, and community leaders, cultural performances including music and poetry, and opportunities for networking and community exchange.
Beyond celebrating Afro-Brazilian culture, the event seeks to create a safe and empowering space that fosters dialogue, strengthens civil society, and amplifies positive narratives about the Black Brazilian community in diaspora at a pressing time. See some of the photos.

Kilomba Collective is a collective dedicated to centering the perspective and realities of Black Brazilian people, especially Black women and girls in their multiple identities, in the international scenario, connecting with other Black women's movements in the African Diaspora. We do so by developing advocacy, community building, and international solidarity actions on issues around social justice, gender equality, and human rights.
