Blackness in Peru

I learned so much this week. On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of interviewing Professor Mariela Noles Cotito. The research that went into creating the questions for the interview required me to really put my self into the shoes of Afro-Peruvians. I am so happy that I had the chance to speak with Professor Noles Cotito, and it really stuck with me when she said that, in Peru, she doesn't think she'd ever seen six Black youths in the same room. She also spoke about the soul music in Peru.

I wish that I'd gotten her information so that if I ever find myself in Peru I could connect with her. After the interview she told me if I ever traveled there she would take me dancing. What a great week!
