德·赫蘇斯和埃瓦里斯托都出身卑微，經歷過種種磨難，德·赫蘇斯還寫了一本日記，銷量超過百萬冊。

已故作家德·赫蘇斯（de Jesus）關注教育、性別平等和永續發展，這一理念在今天的巴西仍然具有現實意義，演員瑪麗亞·加爾（Maria Gal）也對此進行了詮釋。

巴西的黑人女性仍然遭受系統性的歧視，面臨更高的貧窮率、文盲率、飢餓率和基於性別的暴力風險。

儘管取得了進步，但巴西文學院仍然存在種族和性別偏見，限制了像埃瓦里斯托這樣的黑人女作家的機會。

A writer from Minas Gerais known for works about Black women, Conceição Evaristo, appeared atop a float at Rio's Sambodrome during Carnival.

Samba school Unidos da Tijuca dedicated its parade to the late Carolina Maria de Jesus, a favela-based diarist, alongside Evaristo.

The parade aimed to present diverse forms of knowledge born in Black communities and celebrate Brazil's diversity through the display of samba, music, towering floats, and dazzling costumes.

Schools in low-income neighborhoods prepare elaborate parades every year with political themes intertwined.

Dancers, performers, and percussionists from Unidos da Tijuca made their way down the Sambodrome's alley while a song about de Jesus played.

Both de Jesus and Evaristo came from humble backgrounds and faced struggles, with de Jesus penning a diary that has sold over a million copies.

Evaristo defended de Jesus' unconventional style, emphasizing the importance of diverse cultural influences in literature.

The late author de Jesus remains relevant in Brazil today for her focus on education, gender equality, and sustainable development as portrayed by actor Maria Gal.

Black women in Brazil still experience systemic discrimination, facing higher rates of poverty, illiteracy, hunger, and gender-based violence.

Despite progress, racial and gender bias persists in the Brazilian Academy of Letters, limiting opportunities for Black female authors like Evaristo.
