In a recent interview, Vovô, the esteemed leader of the legendary all-black Carnaval group and a powerful symbol of black pride, Ilê Aiyê, calls out black Brazilians who are only black in November festivities, Brazil’s Black Consciousness Month. He emphasizes the importance of embracing one’s identity and cultural heritage every day of the year, not just during specific events.
Vovô passionately articulates that true pride goes beyond mere participation in superficial celebrations; it demands an active engagement with one’s roots, values, and traditions consistently throughout the year. He urges his audience to recognize the richness of their history and to foster a sense of community that thrives beyond the confines of a calendar month. It is this daily commitment to cultural identity that can inspire future generations and create a lasting impact on society, ensuring that the spirit of black pride is woven into the fabric of everyday life in Brazil.
Vovô passionately advocates for unity and continuous celebration of black culture, urging individuals to educate themselves and others about the rich history and significant contributions of black Brazilians to the fabric of the nation. He emphasizes that understanding this heritage is not just a task for the designated commemorative months but a vital part of everyday life. By sharing stories, traditions, and achievements, he hopes to inspire a deeper connection to their roots and challenge societal norms that often sideline black voices outside of these designated times.
He believes that fostering discussions within families and communities can create a more inclusive environment, allowing everyone to appreciate the diverse influences that shape Brazil’s identity. Through workshops, local events, and storytelling, Vovô envisions a future where the legacy of black culture is celebrated year-round, enriching all aspects of society and creating lasting change.
