Making a Black African Educational Cartoon For Children in Brazil To Watch

Unfortunately, Brazil’s major media networks have long had a struggle with showing the diversity of the country’s population. Arguably those that suffer the most from the media’s neglect in representation are Brazil’s children. Most children in Brazil know little about their African heritage, African culture, history and the positive impact it has had in Brazil and the world. They are not taught about this in schools, in the books they read or the TV shows they watch.  To help counteract this problem we want to produce a Brazilian Portuguese version of our popular educational African cartoon show Bino and Fino and make it available to view in Brazil and around the world for children to watch.

Bino and Fino is about a brother and sister who live in a modern day city in Africa.In each episode Bino and Fino, with the help of their friend Zeena the Magic Butterfly and their family, discover and learn things about Africa and the world. 

In many of the episodes children can learn about aspects of Pan African culture and history.

The Bino and Fino show has positive role models for children of the Black African diaspora that are sorely missing much of children’s programming around the world. 

The show is for children mainly between the ages of 3 and 6 and is one of the few real independent African voices in the world of global children’s media.

Brazil has the biggest black African diaspora outside of Africa.It is even larger than that of the U.S.A. Brazil owes most of its wonderful, vibrant, culture to the African roots of its Afro-Brazilian population. 

Right now Brazil is having an internal debate about race and culture. Many Brazilians are learning more about their African ancestry they are becoming proud of it as opposed ashamed of it. This is an increasing and wonderful movement and children should not be left out of this. In fact they should be in the lead. Being proud of ones heritage is very powerful and is essential for a better society in general. It is important that children see themselves in the media they consume. We hope this project will lead to showing the major Brazilian media companies of the need to diversify their children’s media output to more include the Afro-Brazilian population. It is something that is very important for the whole of Brazil.

We learn when leaving those we love, even as our paths have crossed and intertwined that no matter how hard we try, our destinations, they are different sometimes

You Need To Know This Pole Dancer’s Self-Confidence Secrets

In her own words, pole dancer and fitness trainer Roz “The Diva” Mays is where she is today by way of a miracle. “If you’d have told me during that first pole-dancing class…” (which, she adds, kicked her ass completely) “…[that] I would eventually be leading classes of my own all around the country, and would have ended up on TV four times doing this, I would have slapped the shit out of you,” she laughs.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.
