Brazilian journalist Glória Maria passed away this morning. Since 1971 she was a TV icon, trailblazer and pioneer.
Glória redefined what it meant to be a black journalist in television, being a aspirational and respected figure by the whole nation.
Rest in Power, Glória! ✊🏿

This is what 40,000 child slaves look like while working in the cobalt mines of Congo. You don't need to upgrade your cellphone every year, maybe you shouldn't buy that electric car you were thinking about buying and vapes aren't good for our health anyway
