Geledés and Mentoria Mônica de Menezes Campos invite everyone to a conversation with Sueli Carneiro, which will be held tomorrow at 11 am on Geledés' YouTube channel. Sueli Carneiro is one of the most important intellectuals of our time, an activist who inspires us, opens paths for us, and offers us strategies and tools to analyze and transform the world. Sueli Carneiro is a mentor to all of us. Mentoria Mônica de Menezes Campos is a collective and voluntary project named after Brazil's first black diplomat and aims to increase the number of black people in Brazilian diplomacy; discuss the challenges of affirmative action measures at Itamaraty; and highlight issues of race and gender as essential for the construction of public policies (internal and external). Also founded by a black diplomat, Rafaela Seixas, in a reading group that brings together female diplomats, the project is based on teachings of black feminism such as the intertwining of theory with action, the indispensability of discussing race in the gender debate and of discussing gender also as a structuring element of racial inequalities.
