Me as a human

A personal passion. One of my goals in life is to do something similar to what Sebastião Salgado did in Brazil and contribute to my region's biome, the caatinga through building a micro agroforestry and creating a reference for the other villagers to do the same. Sustainably generate food while contributing to the environment.

I'm training to run my second half Marathon on Amsterdam TCS

and Adoniran Barbosa, Trem das Onze

My family history, and African-indigenous heritage

My cat Brokolis is a bit overweight, so the vet sent me on a mission to help him climb some stairs. His brother Laumius is also helping by playing with him and stealing food from him.
