Show Maravilha

Today, there is a lot of talk about ethnic and racial acceptance and inclusion, but in the 1980s and early 1990s, when this series was produced, it was common in Brazil to have blonde presenters who seemed to have come from Sweden.

Mara Maravilha was an exception in this scenario. With her talent for TV, combined with a voice that blondes never had, she earned her place as the only black woman in this universe.

She paid and continues to pay a high price for this, with exclusion and prejudice to this day. She is often excluded by people who want to pretend that only blondes have been successful. People almost always from minorities, but who barely hide their racism against the only black and Bahian presenter of children's programs on Brazilian TV.

Whether you like it or not, Mara Maravilha marked the childhood and adolescence of thousands of Brazilians. Her program can now be watched again on the Mais SBT app.
