“We believe that if the U.S. Congress wants to hold steadfast to its representative form of government, then congressional staffers hired to construct and inform legislation should be reflective of the U.S. population.”

This final Thursday of Women’s History Month, we lift up insight from Brazilian visionary and scholar Lélia Gonzalez.
ALT Graphic of white text over a purple background. It reads, "We are tired of knowing that at school and in the books we are told to study, there is no mention of the effective contributions of working class women, afro-descendants, and indigenous people to our historical and cultural formation. In fact, they are represented as mere folklore characters. And what remains? The impression that men – socially and economically privileged white men – were the only ones who built this country. This triple lie is what is called sexism, racism, and elitism."- Lelia Gonzalez

Happy Holidays from Odara Solutions to you! This year brought many challenges and some beautiful moments of unity, solidarity and hope! May this holiday season and the year to come be brighter and better for us all!
This is an especially hard blow to the whole team of #alafiámundo partnership. Wednesday we had a beautiful international and intergenerational gathering recognizing @birapresidente of @cacique_de_ramos one of the founders and percussionist of #fundodequintal @HelenaTheodoro6
This musical legacy is in our hearts & we are deeply saddened by the news. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on our elders and those in communities already ravaged by economic and social inequity in Brazil and around the world. #buildbridges #ubirany @janaguinond
