Participation of Grupo Afrolaje in the Wakanda in Madureira party. Grupo Afrolaje, a cultural association founded in 2012 in Engenho de Dentro, presents a jongo circle at the Wakanda In Madureira event that took place in December 2021. Afrolaje is a group composed of people from various places, who intend to spread the culture of African origin with presentations in public and/or private spaces, in this sense, it is intended to contribute to the valorization of the self-esteem of children, young people and adults, demystifying the vision about the Afro-Black body and the religions of African origin. This work aims, together with the defense of our Afro-Brazilian culture, to increase and raise the self-esteem and empowerment of the black population and the respect of other blacks and non-blacks in this country.
