Carla Fernandes shares her experience as a black woman in Lisbon, how important it was in arriving at pronunciation habits and how they can change history and end stereotypes. From a young age, Carla Fernandes felt firsthand the weight that cultural differences can have on relationships between people. From that moment on, dialogue between cultures began to interest her. Angola is Carla's country of origin, but it was Portugal that saw her grow up. He graduated in translation from English and German. Through the translation process you also realized that words are more than words, and that translating is not just replacing one word with another. Words in different languages carry history and stories that identify different cultures. In 2014, Carla created the audioblog Rádio AfroLis where people of African descent living in Lisbon share their stories and talk about their personal vision of the city. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format, but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
