La Negrita Come Coco is a character that promotes Dominican popular culture through social networks. It also fights for the acceptance of Afro origins in society and in a sarcastic way dennounces the evils that affect Dominicans.
Her name is because in Dominican Republic people often use that term to discriminate against women with dark skin and curly hair. Thus, the Negrita mocks those prejudiced by proving that anyone with such physical characteristics can be smart and capable.
Plus, with its curvaceous body, curly hair and tanned skin shows that no matter how we are, what is important is to accept and love ourselves.
