The voice of Jorge Medina, an afro-Bolivian advocate echoed from the radio next to her. “The government has taken significant steps to recognize the Afro-Bolivian population in the census, but more work still needs to be done.

Slightly embarrassed I asked, her“where can I use the bathroom.” She pointed to a bush nearby, “make sure you go quickly and duck so no one sees you.
