“I’m completely bulletproof.”
Gracing the cover of the Attitude Summer issue – out now to download and to order globally – the drag queen has discussed her journey in overcoming bullying.
She said: “I was bullied at school for being gay, for being camp, for being fat. Growing up in a rough, remote town that wasn’t ready for a person like me was difficult… it was tough, but at the same time I can’t imagine growing up anywhere else, because it’s shaped the person I have become today.”
The ‘Sua Cara’ singer added that the bullying has helped in preparing her for the world of social media.
“I’m completely bulletproof. […] I know who I am and what I am capable of. The haters and online bullies will [always] be there, and people can be cruel on the internet, but this doesn’t hurt me. I look at my scars from the past and think how I have overcome them.”
She’s also spoken out against Brazil’s homophobic President, Jair Bolsonaro. “He hasn’t just affected the LGBTQ+ community; he’s affected the whole country with his misgovernment and now with COVID, things have only worsened.
“Those who already had little, have nothing. What is even more difficult is that much of the LGBTQ+ community finds itself in the situation of not knowing from one day to the next if there will be food on the table, if they’ll have a job or survive.”
