What Tabata Amaral said about combat stereotypes about people from the periphery

Tabata Amaral: Yes, and let me talk about both things.

Tabata Amaral: Let's talk about the stereotype.

I've heard it — I remember when I was in the PDT and a woman leader, it hurt me a lot, turned and said, 'But Tabata wasn't born poor, look how she eats properly.'

Tabata Amaral: Just as I've heard, 'No, I'm not from the periphery, because I don't wear oversized T-shirts, I don't wear a chain, or whatever.'

Tabata Amaral: That's a stereotype.
