It's ColOMbia not ColUMbia. Did you hear about Adidas spelling 'Colombia' incorrectly in a promotional ad? Yes, that happened. 🙄 But we are not here to talk about that! Colombia has been in the headlines for great reason --- making history! Francia Elena Márquez is a human-rights and environmental activist and lawyer, who made history as the first Black vice president-elect of Colombia! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴 🎉 Vice President elect Márquez had a humble start as a housekeeper and as a single teen mother. A winner of the Goldman Environment Prize award (2018), she brought on to the national stage her advocacy to elevate and call on Colombia's marginalized Afro-Colombian and Indigenous to unite and rise against the elite. A freedom fighter, she evoked the Black Lives Matter movement #BLM by appealing to allies and supporters “to break the structural racism that has not allowed us to breathe.” “Que viva la berraquera, carajo!” We love you, Francia @franciamarquezm #boldlatina #colombia #franciamarquez #afrolatina #latinapoliticians #southamerica #latinapower #latinanews #latinastrong #latina #latinas #latine #latinx #empoweringlatinas #latinassupportinglatinas #latinaowned #latinabrand
