Signature

Celia Andrea Bonilla Gemio (born 4 August 1978) is a Bolivian agricultural worker, politician, and trade unionist who served as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from La Paz from 2015 to 2020. An ethnic Afro-Bolivian, Bonilla's career got its start in northern La Paz's agrarian trade unions, where she held positions as an executive and women's representative. Her prominence there aided in her nomination on the Movement for Socialism's 2014 party list, through which she was elected to the Chamber of Deputies. As a legislator, Bonilla holds the distinction of being the first Afro-Bolivian woman in Bolivian parliamentary history to serve in the lower chamber. She is, together with Ancelma Perlacios, one of the first two Afro-Bolivian women in parliament, and is one of just three overall, after Jorge Medina.
