Descolonizar -- Decolonize
Francia Marquez Mina is a enviromental social leader, lawyer, human rights advocate and currently candidate of the vice-presidency of Colombia in 2022. A remarkable woman that has risen from her little town Suárez, Cauca to the capital of the nation, tired of the violence that it's been suffocating people for decades. Next Sunday we'll be electing the next President of the Republic, and this is my tribute to Francia's fight for using her experiences, her voice and her own life in order to protect and speak out about the violations caused by the far-right wing that's been ruling the country for more than 100 years.
Now more than ever before we are very close to elect a progressive and leftist president Gustavo Petro, who has also expose the abuses of the same government during his political career and who also know the peoples' suffering who calls for change and love.
Even though I don't have a positive view of humans in general, I'm hopeful, I believe in starting a different path to reach a common goal, and this goal is about human rights, dignity and create a different future where we all fit in.
¡Vamos a vivir sabroso! 🇨🇴

The Chibamba [Brazilian folklore]
Hailing from Brazil, the Chibamba is a classic ‘bogeyman’ character, in the sense that it is a scary monster that eats misbehaving children, and parents would tell stories and nursery rhymes about this creature to scare kids into behaving.
Specifically, the Chibamba devours crying children. It wraps itself in large banana leaves and haunts human settlements at night, looking for the sound of crying kids. As the Chibamba walks, it moves in a rhythmical, dance-like motion. It is a humanoid creature that is usually depicted as a human with some monstrous characteristics, such as glowing eyes, beastly fangs or sharp claws, but always dressed in banana leaves.
This story comes from the southern part of Minas Gerais but the origins of the Chibamba are actually quite interesting: the word comes from the Bantu people in Africa, where it originally referred to a type of religious dance.
