Alessandra Azevedo shares her thoughts and experiences as part of 100 Voices: #AllAgainstRacism.

Alessandra Azevedo,
Dancer

Working out your own racism is a psychological process and not related to morality. It starts with refusal, goes through guilt that turns to shame, and continues until recognition is achieved. It is a process of deconstruction when one is born into a racist society.
