Synopsis of the show
"Black, Yes!” narrates the trajectory of a black woman who feels the pain of exclusion as a child. As in most cases, veiled prejudice comes disguised as "jokes"; although, thanks to the education he had received from his mother and for knowing and taking pride in the true story of his ancestors, the girl can grow up authentic, leaving these memories in the past. She starts to encourage other black children to seek their space in the places they wish and non-black children to get to know the African matrix culture, decreasing racial prejudice.
