Resuming the U.S. tour for Where We Stand<\/em>, Djamila Ribeiro held events in San Diego on November 14 and Los Angeles on November 15. On her Instagram profile, the Brazilian philosopher emphasized the importance of exchanging ideas beyond geographical boundaries, highlighting the role of cultural connections and academic collaborations.<\/p>\n

\u201cSan Diego and Los Angeles marked unforgettable moments in the Where We Stand<\/em> launch tour, organized by Yale University Press, where words intertwined with the power of ideas and transatlantic bonds. I hope to return to California soon. Through words and emotions, we continue sowing dialogues and building bridges,\u201d she posted.<\/p>\n

At San Diego State University (SDSU), the Where We Stand<\/em> launch was supported by the Behner Stiefel Center for Brazilian Studies and the Center for African Studies. Professor Daniela Gomes moderated the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn San Diego, the reception at SDSU was overwhelming, with an auditorium full of attentive listeners and open hearts. I am grateful to the Center for African Studies and the Center for Brazilian Studies for all their support. A special thanks to Professor Daniela Gomes for her excellent moderation, to Elisa Larkin, Professor Abner S\u00f3tenos, and Fl\u00e1via Soares, who brought so much warmth and light to the event,\u201d Djamila wrote.<\/p>\n

At the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the event became a stage for vibrant discussions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the privilege of exchanging ideas with Professor Nohora Arrieta Fern\u00e1ndez and the inspiring curator and researcher Igor Sim\u00f5es. I also extend my gratitude to Professor Susanna Hecht from the Center of Brazilian Studies for her presence and support,\u201d Djamila celebrated, concluding the post with thanks to the Brazilian Consulate.<\/p>\n

\u201cA warm and heartfelt thanks to the Brazilian Consul General in Los Angeles, Ms. F\u00e1tima Keiko, and her dedicated team. Your efforts were the thread that wove these special moments together. I also had the joy of reconnecting with my friend Zeni Freitas.\u201d<\/p>\n
