Workbook
For Afro-Colombian Families
Pacific Coast Identity, Displacement, and the Family That Stayed
The Chocó gave Colombia its gold. Your family carried it through everything that followed.
For the adult from an Afro-Colombian family who wants to document African heritage, Pacific Coast identity, and what displacement did not erase.
The Name It First Experience
Afro-Colombian families carry one of the richest and most violated identities in the Americas. From Pacific Coast communities that retained African traditions even Brazil lost, to the Afro-Colombian Caribbean, to displaced families who left the Chocó — Afro-Colombian identity is multiple stories at once. This workbook names the African roots, the marimba and currulao, the palenquero language of San Basilio de Palenque, the forced displacement, and what it means to be Black Colombian in Bogotá or New York. The output is not a history lesson. It is a family identity document.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does Afro-Colombian identity mean in your household — and which community or region does your family's heritage come from?
- What did your family's community build — culturally, musically, spiritually — and how does your household carry it?
- What do you want the next generation to understand about Afro-Colombian identity — not just the recognition, but the full story of what was built and what was taken?
