00:00which stuff is a hundred percent
00:27but that today I analyze and I say that, of course, that marked it.
00:32I knew that it was the day that I told them Negra Cuscuz in the school.
00:35Before that, I didn't say that you're negra, you're going to discriminate.
00:40When I came to the house, I told them that you're Negra Cuscuz,
00:42I told them that you're going to tell a nice story about the Negra Cuscuz,
00:46but definitely in my time there was no Vanessa Mendoza,
00:50there was no reina negra in Colombia, the president Obama existed,
00:54there were no characters in the movies,
00:56there was much less a black news when I was little,
01:00and less with the Afro hair, when there was, it didn't seem to me.
01:08After the years, I learned to do what they say in the college,
01:14I was the one who sang, the one who sang, the one who sang,
01:17the one who sang, the one who sang, the one who sang,
01:19quickly, at the age of 12, I started to lose my hair,
01:21because I knew that my hair was ugly,
01:24I told them all the time that my hair was not the beautiful hair,
01:27the beauty of beauty that existed in my time,
01:30it was the of the rubies, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue,
01:33which in Bogotá was the 1%, but that definitely not seemed to me.
01:38So I was, at the age of 17, I was the typical negrita bogotana
01:42of the hair that felt good, because I was the only one who
01:46allowed to enter the bars of their friends,
01:49because I was a negra different than the others.
01:52Then I started, at the age of 17,
01:54a very important approach to what is the Afro-Colombian movement here.
01:59I began to assist to forums, to be diplomated,
02:01to read a lot of Afro-Colombian history,
02:02and from there, my life starts in two.
02:04So I started a personal reivindication
02:08that led me to become, a few years later,
02:12a voice of the Afro-Colombian population,
02:23I was a victim of discrimination,
02:26but not, for example, of racism,
02:29that I said, you're a negra, no-sé-cuántas,
02:31or, let's say, that I don't have lived that way,
02:33but I identified other forms of racism that are very powerful
02:36and that in Colombia people don't consider racism.
02:39For example, the subordination,
02:41the condescending, for me, is a form of racism.
02:43If they say, no, Lily, tranquila, tranquila, no,
02:46you don't cure judicial,
02:47you more than, dedícate a hacer las notas del Petronio,
02:50que eso es lo que te gusta.
02:51In some way, that condescending me is saying,
02:53you're not capable.
02:57I love Afro-Colombian, in all its ways.
03:00I love Afro-Colombian, I love Afro-Colombian,
03:03I love Afro-Colombian because it says,
03:04where I come from, it speaks from my origin and my present.
03:09I come from Africa, but I'm Colombian,
03:11I come from Africa, but I'm costarricense.
03:13Afro-Costarricense, Afro-Venezolano,
03:15it's politically correct,
03:17and it eliminates the history of the esclavization
03:21that happened in our community.
03:23So that, and yeah, well,
03:25that Afro-Descendiente is the courtina
03:26that we close to all,
03:28and after that in Colombia there are palenqueros,
03:30raizales,
03:31and other types of denominations
03:33more puntuales,
03:34determined by the language.
03:35I don't bother me in particular,
03:38but I think it's important
03:40that people understand,
03:40for example,
03:42when in the schools they say,
03:43they brought from Africa
03:44the black slaves.
03:46So that in Africa,
03:47Africa is a expound of black slaves
03:48that they can bring when they need
03:51to work.
03:51They should say,
03:53they took away from the Afro-Colombian
03:55and that's a bit more right
03:57with the history
03:57and the concept of the children
03:59from small children.
04:02And what's it is?
04:03It just don't help them.
04:04It's really interesting.
04:04That is the thing.
04:04Of course,
04:05It's a long time,
04:05it's the same thing.
04:05We're going back to you with it,
04:05it's keep in mind.
04:05we're out of the area
04:05and also recently,
04:05for a very low school
04:05for the first year.
04:05We're going back to you and
04:06the 18th grade and
04:06the equivalent of the age
04:07of that age.
04:07You
