She is Brazil's most compelling defender of Black feminism. Philosopher, writer and professor Djamila Ribeiro has been instrumental in calling out structural racism and pushing for societal change, be it in publishing or in politics. Ribeiro joins us to talk about her deeply personal book "Letters to my grandmother", which recounts her own experience as a young woman and reflects upon the socio-political context that her mother and grandmother were navigating in 20th-century Brazil. Ribeiro has used her public platform to boost feminist and anti-racist campaigns, discussing the "speaking place" that each person inhabits, a key concept in her best-selling text "Where We stand", in which she explains why multiple identities inform individual perspectives.
