What is Black Women of Brazil?
Black Women of Brazil is a photographic and informational blog featuring a diverse array of Brazilian Women of African descent. As much of the English speaking world is not familiar with the history of African descendants in Brazil, it also features news, essays, reports and interviews spanning an array of topics including race, racism, hair, affirmative action, police brutality, etc. intended to give a more complete view of the experiences of black women in particular and black people in general in Brazil with a goal of provoking discussion through the lens of race.
Essays and photos feature specifically women who are models, singers, rappers, dancers, actresses as well as politicians, activists, journalists, athletes, etc. and common everyday people from the República Federativa do Brasil (Federative Republic of Brazil). The women range the gamut of phenotypes in terms of skin color, hair texture and facial features.
Nátaly Neri is a “social scientist in the making” and a “black feminist” who has gained quite a following in her various social networks. She is featured as number 37 on the BW of Brazil photo series “Faces of Afro Brazil” .
Some of the women in the 2016 Ebony Goddess competition held in Salvador, Bahia every year! For the full story and to learn the winner click here .
Note from BW of Brazil: If one were to analyze the title of this piece without the proper context, they would probably come to the conclusion that there was a black culture oriented party without the presence of black people. But that is not exactly what the piece is about. As this blog has repeatedly explained throughout its existence, as the term defining persons of visible African descent in Portuguese is ‘negro’, when Brazilians use the term 'black’, in English, it often refers the hairstyle associated with the 'Black Power’ movement in the United States, the afro. In fact, instead saying the words 'Black Power’, again referring to the hairstyle, people often simply say 'black’. Hence, in dialogue, one person could say to another, “I love your black”, or “your black is beautiful”, again in reference to someone’s afro.
With that in mind, a popular party that’s been going down in Rio for a while now is called “Meu Black é Assim”, meaning 'My Black is like this’. The most recent 'Black’ party recently caused a stir online when some black (people) took a peek at some of the folks at the spot. Simply put, most of the people there could be classified as 'melanin deficient’. But just for clarity here, if you take a look at some of photos you will actually see some black people there, but you won’t see many people rockin’ 'blacks’. As such, some folks took the opportunity to respond to the party posting photos proudly rockin’ their 'blacks’.
Here’s my thing. As we can see, this party was open to anyone and as such you DO see black people there. But the problem I have is this: Brazilian society as a whole continues to view cabelo crespo (kinky/curly hair), natural black hair with disdain…as cabelo ruim or bad hair, which is why many of the posts on this blog have been dedicated to the rise of pride in these kinks and curls. The vast majority of people at the party will never be harassed by an employer because of their hair, or “do something” with their hair by a potential employer, flatly told they won’t be hired with that hair or even fired because of their hair . How many of these people stand in solidarity with those who face this type of discrimination so that this Eurocentric standard can be changed? And how many will just have fun at the party using a theme based on the very people who experience this sort of discrimination? Based on my experiences, I would say that 95-99% will say and do nothing about it. But hey, why ruin the party and bring everybody down with these politics, right?
Note from BW of Brazil: A common question/battle by black Brazilians in many genres of society is “Onde estão os negros?”, meaning, ‘where are the black people?’ Television , film and advertising are but a few areas where the under-representation or complete invisibility of Brazilians of visible African descent are very obvious. It’s quite easy to pick up any magazine on a newsstand, flip through the pages and not see a single black face, whether as models or in the advertisements. As we have heard for a number of years, within these industries, there is an underlining ideology that says that ‘ blacks don’t sell ‘ or having blacks representing a certain product will scare away the parcel of the population that the market really represents: white people . It’s as if black people don’t matter or that they don’t have the right to be seen or see themselves as beautiful. It’s an issue that needs to be discussed and more and more Afro-Brazilians are asking the question.

The original story connected with these photos is entitled:
and it revisits a horrific story we featured here last April about black girls from a quilombo in the state of Goiás who were victims of child labor, slave work and sexual exploitation . Quilombos are the maroon societies fugitive Afro-Brazilian constructed as refuge from the brutal practice of slavery. Brazil’s Record TV did a story on the controversial story and aired it back in June.
Here we present some of the faces of that quilombo. See the full story by clicking below:

Note from BW of Brazil: So what else is new? For sixty plus years Brazil has crowned a Miss Brasil and only once has there been a woman of visible characteristics of African ancestry that won . This year was no different. In fact, as if often the case, in this year’s competition, there was only one black woman in the whole contest! We’ve seen this almost complete whitewashing in numerous previous contests so again, this isn’t news (see photos from various contests from around Brazil at bottom of post). Clearly not equal representation of a country in which 53.6% of the population defines itself as non-white . It’s just another reminder of why Brazilians really need to retire this idea that “we are all equal” !
Numerous women on this blog have shared their experiences with the infamous chapinha (hair straightening iron) and hair relaxers which in some cases have caused women to lose their hair or, as in one tragic case, even die . These stories are some of the very reasons so many posts on this blog deal with women coming to accept their natural hair and often times developing a black identity in the process . We wish much success for this play and hope to see many more of its kind in the future! (Be sure to check out the two video clips in this post. The language is Portuguese of course, but some of the scenes can be understood even without the dialogue!)
Note from BW of Brazil: The Month of Black Consciousness is in full swing as celebrations and events will continue for another two weeks. A few days ago, one event, the first of its kind, took place in São Paulo as mostly black women came together to discuss pertinent issues to black women such as beauty, self-esteem, empowerment and racial discrimination . The value of such events cannot be underestimated as Brazilian society is notorious for being extremely racist while simultaneously denying that it is .
It is very fitting that a social media outlet such as You Tube promoted this event for a few reasons. 1) Along with the emergence of the importance of social networks/media has risen the free reigns of expressions of racism and prejudice on these very networks and 2) social media/networks such as You Tube have been instrumental in Afro-Brazilian activists, entrepreneurs, etc. being able to reach like-minded people, supporters and followers that would not be possible with the Brazilian media’s ultra Eurocentric physical aesthetics and cultural standards.
With the internet and the blogosphere, these independent voices are bringing information, advice, stories, ideas and ideals to a parcel of the population that the media has long pretended doesn’t exist . Afro-Brazilians not only exist, but they also want to see their views, opinions and images represented. At the end of this post, see a few of the black Brazilian women You Tubers who are giving the people want they want! …
