I lived in Complexo do Alemao until I was 12, dealt with domestic violence in my childhood and faced difficulties in life.

I am a focused person. I am a fighter.

I always studied because I knew I had to. I needed to survive and take care of my mother.

I have two children. I gave up a lot for my career, but I'm very happy for it. I've done what I've always thought was best for me and my family.

My childhood was happy, joyful but very difficult.

I thank my mother, Terezinha, for the power of her transforming love.
