Iara
Hello! My name is Iara and I am 14 years old. I have lived in Adroana in Alcabideche for 10 years and spend most of my free time at the Ludoteca, a social space for children and young people in the neighbourhood. I have a big dream: I want to enroll in a professional beauty course because I believe I have a knack for it. It might seem like a small dream to you but, in my family, many people have little education; many can’t even read or write! I would like to break this cycle associated with people of the Romani ethnicity—we are also capable of studying and achieving goals, contrary to what some people in our society think. I have always heard and been inspired by this Romani saying: “the most beautiful bonfire starts with small branches”. Every small step counts towards the journey - the important thing is to start. I consider myself a shy and somewhat stressed person but very fun to be around and friendly with my friends.
For me, participating in this project was a great asset: I learned the basic principles of business and useful tools for my daily life. When it came to my sneakers, I decided to go with the Landscape in a black base with a strong base of blue, a color that is expressive but also discreet. It is a talisman color that gives me good feelings.
