but there I did not know why
I was growing so uncomfortable
Time went by inside the school.

but at school I had to recognize myself
like the pepa because that was my
color
after all that was the color of the colored pencil

I grew up and I had to study

I turned off the phone
This was a moment of
My career was in my living room.
daily colleague who turned to me and
said look away
5th sees a black woman like you
You have a lot to say about it.
in that speech of that colleague I understood
what
much to say was not just
theorizing but it was the place of speech
a place that occupied as woman woman
within a public university
it was a place that needed to be built
everyday institutional boats
he also needed to be re meaning
in my concrete action as a teacher
inside the classroom
the year 2013 arrived and the
possibility of creating a course for
talk to the school teachers
public relations on ethnic racial relations
there born a union was born of a partnership
very important built with a colleague
called stolen darned and a series of
university teachers who came across
the adventure of discussing that
discomfort from my childhood
that sadness that he ill be
there a university professor already enough
mature in my career I was able to
name my discomfort had the name
my sadness had the name racismo esse
It’s the name of my discomfort.
we knew that in this course we have
to discuss with teachers the
concrete classroom questions
more than racial theorizations.
than appropriating black culture
Africa and Afro-Brazil more than
feel the courage to do this
work we needed urgently
to teach teachers how to mediate
racial conflicts within the classroom
in this first edition of the course I
I again felt the taste of
racism
narrated the experiences that
teachers who took the course
of everyday racism useful at times to
heavy and wicked times hurting
children leading the fire to the desire to
dropping out of school making teachers
suddenly
aryl had chosen the same
career what is there
In this course in 2013 nine teachers
off course was not that the
course was bad what they were not
liking was much worse
they watched the opening video of the
course and they saw me as coordinator
black women and they said they did not
we agree to be coordinated by a woman

pain do not know that this
It is called racism can discuss
issues of racial belonging, which can
to make black children feel like
to assume that they are black
The desire to say this is my color and
my color is beautiful
it was necessary to create a material not
available on the Brazilian market
no case that proposed children
