All women of color need to go to Brazil at least once because the country values blackness and the African diaspora. Everywhere you go there is a burst of energy that celebrates African culture. This ranges from samba, a genre of music born from Brazil’s black neighborhoods, to the blend of cultures seen in the food, arts, and dancing.
