About this listen

Why would a young woman abandon comforts in the United States and relocate to one of Brazil’s most dangerous favelas, notorious for its abject poverty and local gang factions?

It is amid the darkest corners of violent streets where she finds the ultimate feeling of warmth, community, and passionate love.

In Forbidden Brazil, we follow Michelle’s journey as she develops a profound understanding of humanity, while living in the sociopolitical impact of cyclical poverty. Without any previous knowledge about her estranged father’s native country, we watch her navigate and understand a foreign world where choice is driven by access to opportunity.

In this vivid and emotionally evocative collection of short stories, poems, and vignettes, de Abreu recounts her experiences, and details how Brazil’s history of racial discrimination has led to untenable economic disparity.

Forbidden Brazil explores treading fearlessly outside of defined comfort zones and challenges its listeners to question deeply held stereotypes that are nearly always left untested.
