<p>In her <em>A Short Anti-racist Handbook</em> (Port. <em>Pequeno manual antirracista</em>), inspired on the book <em>How to Be an Antiracist</em> by Ibram X. Kendi, Ribeiro calls upon white people to take responsibility and change attitudes which result in privileges and oppression. Being a follower of Candomblé,<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"></sup> Ribeiro has written about how traditional women healers in Afro-descendant communities came to be portrayed as witches by Western civilisation.</p>
<p>In July 2020, Ribeiro decided to report Twitter to Brazil's Public Prosecutor's Office on the grounds that Twitter 'economically exploits racism and misogyny' and 'profits from attacks on defenceless Black women'.</p>
