The Estudos afro-brasileiros Journal reaches its fourth volume, in its fourth year of existence and contribution, which has added knowledge and shared wisdom about the richness and diversity of Afro-Brazilian culture and religions. Such existence has fostered reflections and dialogues with academia and Brazilian society in general, since the African diaspora is part of our lives, inside or outside academia, even if we do not perceive or value it.
