When he wanted to be a travel blogger, AD Junior faced strong structural racism. Clearly, he presents a timeline with the elements of Brazilian law that have constituted this structure that, to this day, prevents blacks from reaching the place that all whites have the privilege of occupying.
AD Junior graduated from the School of Audio Engineering in Cross Media Production and Publishing, and English Literature, Conversation and Culture from the University of California - UC Irvine. AD Junior is an online marketing manager, digital influencer and activist. Married ten years ago, he lives in Hamburg, Germany, and gives lectures and consults for companies in Brazil and Europe on issues related to structural racism. AD created an education platform aimed at the Afro-Brazilian public and has the dream of making it reach everywhere, from students to teachers, and to people who want to learn about the anti-racist struggle. He loves to study and research issues concerning sociology, anthropology and science as they relate to combating structural racism, as well as sharing with and acquiring knowledge from people.
