In one of Latin America’s most unequal countries, Francia Márquez, a Black Colombian rural activist, challenges the status quo with a presidential campaign that reappropriates the derogatory term “Igualada” — someone who acts as if they deserve rights that supposedly don’t correspond to them — and inspires a nation to dream.
“I am not the daughter of a privileged family, I do not have the formation of the heirs of the 40 families that have governed this nation. On the contrary, I have been on the other side of the history of this country, the side of exclusion, of racialization and of impoverishment… This dream, my dream, is to dare to challenge the status quo and to rewrite history from the oppressed, to rewrite history from the other side”. Francia Márquez
