Camila smiles warmly, her eyes shining with quiet confidence. She speaks with a soft but steady voice, a mix of kindness and resilience.

Hi, I’m Camila. I’m proud of my Brazilian roots — my heritage is part of who I am. People sometimes tell me I don’t look "Latina enough," but identity is about so much more than appearances. I speak Portuguese, and I carry my culture with me wherever I go.

She pauses, then her expression grows more serious.

I’ve faced some dark times in my life. But I wear my strength like a tattoo — a reminder that I’m building a home inside myself, no matter what. I’m here to share my story and to stand for those who need to find their own voice.
