LIVES

A conversation about how I ended up in the Caatinga Backlands and how my first 9-months-experience traveling in this territory of Bahia helped me to go through 6 pandemic months alongside my grandmother, a 91-year-old woman; to write two books about it and to launch a crowdfunding campaign to publish them to go back to the Backlands!

I talk to Sue Coutinho, a communication manager who connects brands and people through plural and authentic narratives. A delightful exchange of ideas about communication and health, algorithms and social structures, trends and virtual networks, books and crowdfunding, inspirations and periphery.

A conversation about transsexuality, spiritual life, Brazil's Northeast and Southeast zones, gift, service, dream, entrepreneurship and life with the wonderful Válaka Devi, a Vedic theologian and philosopher trans woman and activist who created the first organic bakery in the Zona da Mata Mineira (@paniorganicos). I swear it's worth every second! Val is simply amazing. 

I talk to Indra d'Avila, a former lawyer from Sergipe who changed careers and gave birth to Aracaju's first brand of kombuchas! This is a talking about changing lifestyle, health, dreaming, realizing, undertaking and getting to know our Woman's body.

I talk to Monia Tassi Martins, a psychologist, master in Clinical Sexology and tantric therapist. This is a live about tantrism and the power of the body from the perspective of a woman who has been focused on the millenary oriental tradition of Tantra for 20 years.

A conversation about welcoming criticism, holding back fear and shame, dreaming, nourishing and realizing what we want to be our work. Laura is a sincere friend who gives me the richness that Difference brings. She inspires me to have courage to present myself on social media so I can grow professionaly! 

I talk with Marina Giannetto about unconventional maternity, solo pregnancy, photography and entrepreneurship. Marina is about to give birth to Sol, her third child, and also @projeto.marvelous – through which she investigates, photographs and presents the various perspectives, literally, of Being a Woman.

I talk to Caroline Passos – @florescimentocriativo –, a 26-year-old woman from Minas Gerais, mother of two puppies and two children. Carol and I don't know each other personally – yet –, although we grew up in cities nearby. Our words are close, though. Carol inspires me for being another sis who travels and writes in her own ways...

I talk to Vinícius Santiago – @santiago_vini_ –, a doctor in International Relations and professor at PUC-SP. Together, we prose about oral reading, body, memory and ancestry. In the spontaneity of the conversation, we talked about Ailton Krenak, Pandemic, Life, Death, Capitalism, Patriarchy, Time and some stuff in between.
