Quézia Arruda

UK '26

My name is Quézia, I am 18 years old, I'm from the countryside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A huge fact about me is that I consider myself a collector of stories. For that reason, I am completely obsessed with the influence of storytelling in the world. I believe that every human being needs to listen or tell a story to feel that they are alive; to feel their humanity. I'm a Latin woman that loves giving voice, through my writing, to those who have none. I am definitely moved by my passion for analyzing different social communities and reporting about them. As someone who came from an unprivileged reality in Brazil, I feel that this is my goal as a human being: to give space to other human begins that no longer are regarded as such. And, of course, some other factors tell a lot about who I am: I'm addicted to "The Office", "Gilmore Girls", Jane Austen, and jazz music.
