CURRENT MISSION

"Never forget, that a political, economic or religious crisis is enough for Women's Rights to be questioned. Those same rights are not permanent. You will have to remain vigilant throughout your life."
Simone-Ernestina-Lucie-Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir.

"I do not believe that there are specific feminine qualities, values, ways of life: It would be to admit the existence of a feminine nature, that is, to adhere to a myth invented by men to imprison women in their oppressed condition. It is not for women to assert herself as a woman, but to become human beings in their integrity. "
Simone-Ernestina-Lucie-Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir.

"It is through work that women have been reducing the distance that separated them from men, only work can guarantee their concrete independence."
Simone-Ernestina-Lucie-Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir.

ABOUT ME

Welcome.

Writer and illustrator with indigenous ancestry.

I moved to Uberlândia, Minas Gerais (1999).

Feminist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, ovolactovegetarian.

I am a very calm, patient person.
I have a lot of self-control, tolerance.

When I turned fifteen, I was a stubborn teenager with a free spirit and had the dream of doing my first backpacking alone, but I didn't dare to secret my dream to anyone. I kept that dream for four years. I kept that dream until I was a civil adult.

I lost a very important person when I was twenty-three. During this period of my existence, I started to reflect deeply on philosophical issues in search of a little insight. Many seemingly unanswered difficult questions that were forgotten somewhere in my consciousness began to emerge in a flash.

What is the meaning of existence?
Was I happy with my existence?
What could only I do for myself?
What could I do to change the reality I was living in?
What is the real meaning of the word free will for me?
What is the real meaning of the word freedom to me?
What steps would I need to take to achieve my independence?
What obstacles would I have to overcome in order to carry out my plans?

I had to do my best to gather what was left of my strength to leave my house with one goal in my mind, the goal of volunteering at a charity. Being a volunteer is a rewarding experience that continues to enrich my existence. Being a volunteer is a rewarding experience that changed my perspective. I learned more than I taught.

PHILOSOPHY

"We human beings are in nature to help the progress of animals, in the same proportion that angels are to help us. So whoever kicks or mistreats an animal is someone who has not learned to love."
Francisco Cândido Xavier.

"Charity is a spiritual exercise. Whoever does good sets the forces of the soul in motion. When spirits insistently recommend the practice of charity, they are guiding us towards our own evolution."
Francisco Cândido Xavier.

"When someone hurts or offends you, don't retaliate. Don't respond in the same way. Just feel compassion for those who need to humiliate, offend, or hurt in order to feel strong."
Francisco Cândido Xavier.

Interests

"It is necessary to use your privilege space to make room for groups that do not have it, because this privilege was built on the back of those who were and are historically discriminated against."
Djamila Taís Ribeiro dos Santos.

"If there are black women, if there are black people, you can't be a feminist without being anti-racist, you can't be a feminist without fighting oppression because of sexual orientation."
Djamila Taís Ribeiro dos Santos.
