Colonization has not ended; it continues, updated and impacting all dimensions of human and non-human life. The historical trauma of colonization, in order to be processed and repaired, first needs to be named and recognized. We will discuss clues for identifying colonialist discourses and practices and possible means of reparation, aiming at the construction of a world of well-being.
This Keynote took place during the PrograMaria Summit 2021, on December 18, 2021.

Eu sou forte, mas não queria usar minha força apenas para aguentar sofrimento
Queria usa-la para o tanto de alegria que desejo viver
Se sou resiliente, queria poder usar essa habilidade pra me adaptar a mudanças maravilhosas
Eu aguento muita coisa, mas queria aguentar a ternura dos filhotes, a beleza das manhas, o doce das frutas
Eu suporto e acolho muito, mas queria também dar suporte e alegria aos meus amigos
E se sou paciente, queria ter a paciência de uma espera saltitante
Eu amo muito, mas não queria que provar isso implicasse em aguentar sofrimento, renuncia ou sacrifício
Provo que amo festejando a vida e a autonomia
Provo que amo afirmando quem e como sou
Força, paciência, amor, resistência
Me recuso a aceitar que todas as habilidades do meu corpo território servem à dor e ao sofrimento
As lutas são pela vida e pela alegria muito mais que contra qualquer coisa.
