My name is Bárbara. I was born in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A couple of years ago my parents immigrated to a tiny island on the East coast of Massachusetts. Martha’s Vineyard is a hidden treasure. There, I learned to love the waves and appreciate the snow.

Now I live in Tampa Florida where I attend college.

Although I have many “homes” my identity is a combination of my experiences, desires, passions, and imperfections.

I live in awe of our world and the diverse lives of everyone that populates it. If I could, I would learn all the world languages.
My heart is for advocating for immigrant and refugee rights.

I often go for what scares me the most. I speak my mind. Impatience is my (second) middle name but I’m working on it, and I have many lists.!

Now you know me a little better! I dare you to share with someone new a piece of yourself.
What are you made of?
