Mixed Race Writings

I am a black Brazilian woman, teacher, anti-racist and mother. I have been a teacher since I was very young and I have worked at various levels and modalities of teaching in Foundamentary Education. I am a professor at the Federal University of Sergipe, Brazil. In higher education, I have been working for many years with teacher training.

I am a self-identified Black mixed-race South African educator, researcher, storyteller and decolonial feminist activist. I draw fromand am inspired by my own experiences as a child born in exile to an activist mother. My research considers experiences of racial mixed-ness in relation to family, socio-historical context and legacies of coloniality. I am particularly interested in how [mixed]race is articulated, institutionalised and experienced in post-colonial contexts within the Global South and on the African continent.

I am a Black Brazilian woman, a Black queer feminist, educator, creative writer, poet, decolonial activist, and auntie. I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Race and Decolonial Studies and was formerly Co-Director of the Race.ED Network at the University of Edinburgh.
