Afrolista of the Week: Paula Lima

Singer/Actress Paula Lima on the May cover of Raça magazine. 

Paula is now busy preparing for her upcoming role in the São Paulo production of the Broadway hit, CATS, in which she will play the role of the cat, Grizabella. If any one has ever seen the musical who could ever forget the hit song "Memory" in the long running musical and as a singer I'm sure she'll be just as good as all the other actresses who have played the part. Congratulations to her on playing the title role.

Jessica is my Afrolista of the week. Jessica is an actress and activist in Brazil. I found this photo in Raça Magazine, which is a well written and informative magazine.

Our brother's and sisters of the Diaspora are putting our magazines to shame with their content. Check out their wonderful web site , even though it's in Portuguese, it's great. I'm definitely looking forward to subscribing to the magazine.
