*Prominent Black activist Francia Márquez could become Columbia’s next vice president.

Márquez has “faced death threats, racist tweets — even an assassination attempt,” per The Washington Post, also noting that “the president of Colombia’s senate accused her of links to one of the country’s most violent guerrilla groups,” the outlet writes.

“What really makes the president uncomfortable,” she said, “is that today, a woman who could have been the woman in his house, working as a maid, could now be his vice president.”

Márque, 40, is an Afro-Colombian single mother of two who has never held political office. She is also an award-winning environmental activist and “one of the most visible candidates in the election,” per the report.
