Carlos Senghor Diatta no quiere ser futbolista
El activista Moha Gerehou observa más hostilidad en los espacios compartidos. Hay pocos niños y molestan
Carlos Opa Senghor Diatta, a ten-year-old boy, is not interested in pursuing a career in football. He is currently working on a self-portrait in a painting class sponsored by the Karibu Association, which assists African mothers during their challenging beginnings. The young artist captures his brown skin and black hair in just two strokes, showcasing his intelligence, beauty, and strong character.
When his mother tries to share their family story, the boy interrupts her with adverbs, speaking proudly and frequently. His mother, Rita Diatta, arrived in Madrid eleven years ago on a voluntary visit to reunite with her husband. Born in southern Senegal and belonging to the Diola ethnicity, she had no intention of seeking fortune in Europe.
However, her husband lured her here. Rita, still pregnant and feeling extremely isolated, cried uncontrollably, yearning for the simple life she left behind. In the church, a compassionate woman noticed her sorrow and, in a generous turn of events, decided to protect her, attend her childbirth, and care for the baby in those early days.
María, the Samaritan who took her in, became the child's godmother, symbolizing the first sign of kindness in a city that barely acknowledged her presence at the staircase.
