CABO VERDE - 2019

The Power of Sharing

I was invited by someone very special, Vítor Santos, to spend fifteen days at his hotel in Santiago.

This experience changed me deeply.

I realised the power that sharing holds.

I learned that telling my story in a true and honest way — without hiding my many flaws — can touch those who listen.

I discovered that living together, sharing, and honesty have the power to transform others, even when that’s not the goal.

I remember the giant Elias, who, even with so little, gave what he could to those in need.

I remember the amazing artists Tutu Sousa, Luís Levy Lima and Hélder Cardoso, who moved me so much.

I fell in love with the people, the culture and the energy of Cape Verde.

Nôs sta juntus, irmânus!
