Hi! Check out my new vlog about how this Latin American country had an influence over the Democratic Republic of Congo and vice versa. Because of this, we still see the effects of this today.

Before the end of September, I knew nothing of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It seemed like a faraway land, a land that had nothing to do with me or anything I knew about. However, as I learned more and more about the DRC, I realized I was wrong. Through globalization and the modernization of technologies, I can still find a way to be connected to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In this instance, with my background in Latin America, I have found a way to use this element of my background to connect to the DRC. I would like to share with you what I have found on the interconnectedness of Brazil and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Here is my storymap on capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian dance-combat cultural art form originating from Congolese slaves.
