Now that I’m in my Junior year of college, I’m unsure of whether Pennsylvania or Washington, DC is my home. I’ve noticed that in conversations, PA has evolved from “back home” to “my hometown.” I don’t think that it’s important either way where you label home, but it can feel frustrating not knowing where that is anymore.

In June, two LGBTQ events colored the most important avenues of both Brazilian city of São Paulo and North American city of New York. These events are not only a great opportunity for the ones who are part of this community to celebrate and embrace who they are, but also is a reminder to the fact that we still have a hard work to do in order to make the world a better place for everyone, including the ones who are part of a minority.

In 2017, we were all obsessed over Get Out – the incredible movie that made us reflect over racism and representativity in a brilliant way. The film was so acclaimed that gained four Oscar Nominations and won one of them, for Best Original Script. Now, the director Jordan Peele brought us another film: Us , starred by the incredible Lupita Nyong’o.

On Twitter, we saw people at the Exuma's island complaining about the lack of water, food, technology and electricity – completely different from the luxurious party that Fyre wa

Since the first movie was made, all the story of Cinema has been dominated by men. Women were always portrayed differently from them: we were always fragile, submissive and obsessed with the idea of getting married and having kids.

In High School, I was the girl who boldly declared herself a feminist to anyone who cared to listen. I firmly believed that the dreaded patriarchy needed to be smashed and that the oppressed women needed to make their voices heard. Learning about courageous women like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman, Mary Wollstonecraft etc. emboldened me, and I was proud to stand alongside them. And then a few years went by, and a lot changed. First of all, feminism today is different
