During December 3rd, the last day of the event, the doctor and now communicator Fred Nicciojournalist Karine Alves, rapperKarol Conk and actor Jean Paulo Campos took to the stage at the invitation of Projeto Negritudes Globo.
The project, which also includes names such as Lzaro Ramos,Tas Araujo and Maju Coutinho, addresses black narratives in search of self-development, revealing the challenges and glories behind the successful careers of black people.
In front of an overwhelming audience that filled the Omelete by Banco do Brasil Stage, the Adnews team witnessed up close the experiences shared by these personalities who are symbols of resistance and struggle. In addition to life stories, they spoke about moments of difficulty and overcoming, goals achieved and triumphs, reinforcing the importance of black empowerment.
The chat, which included the showing of exclusive videos for the event, offered a more in-depth look at each of their journeys. One of the most important moments was when Karol Conk, who went through a difficult period in 2021 due to his controversial participation in the reality show Big Brother Brasil (BBB), shared about the personal growth that negative experiences can provide people. She highlighted the importance of therapy for mental health, encouraging everyone who was present to consider this practice as essential.

The actor addressed the importance of discussing social injustices in an environment like CCXP and shared what it was like to play this delicate scene, revealing that, contrary to what many imagined, it was not difficult for him to delve deeper into this role, because the feelings and anguish that only a black person faces were present in their personal experiences.
