Q:What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
A:My interests are fashion, music and trying to help my country, especially the children. I like listening to music, writing, surfing on the internet, taking pictures and going out with the friends.

Q:What is your career ambition?
A:To someday be a judge and be a model.

Q:Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
A:I was raised in a social area, Fonte da Prata. I had a very nice childhood there because I had a lot of friends and the love of my older brothers. They treated me like I was a cute doll and took care of me.

Q:What do you want the judges to know about you?
A:I never knew my father. He died two months before I was born. I also want the judges to know that have I suffered from racism. There have been times when I have walked down the street that I have been called names because I have an interracial heritage. I have received insults from both sides - African and Caucasian. It is very humiliating; I feel very sad about it because it is horrible when it happens.
