"So, in the end, a child was born and grew up who learned to hate everything that she represented, everything that her existence provided for herself" as she states.[6]
Gay Times has said "she wants to use her newfound platform to raise awareness of anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination and violence in Brazil as a result of President Jair Bolsonaro's homophobic administration".[7]
