- Your career has started at 13th years old. Did you feel responsibility or you had an opportunity to enjoy your childhood?
Adriana:
- I did start my career at a young age, but I definitely think that I had a great childhood enjoying my family, friends and the beauty of nature around me in Brazil. The benefit of working at a young age was that I learned responsibility and work ethic early on in life.
Numéro:
- We have noticed that on Instagram, you congratulated Amanda Nunis (Brazilian fighter of mixed martial arts, acting under the auspices of "UFC") with a victory. What do women's battles mean to you in the modern world of equality? And how important is it to be able to stand up for yourself?
Adriana:
- Yes, Amanda is an incredible athlete and dear friend of mine. I think that women are stronger than they have been told they are and they battle physical and mental battles every day. The important thing is to keep focusing on that strength to overcome the obstacles that life throws at you.
Numéro:
- What motivates you to move on every day?
Adriana:
- Again, this would have to be my two daughters.
Numéro:
- Long time ago you wanted to become a nun. As far as we know, you take the Bible backstage and read it before going to the light. What does this mean for you?
