Im an immigrant and a refugee from Brazil. When I was 12, I was arrested for being in the U.S. unlawfully. I was held in jail for days without food, handcuffed, and sent back to a country that wasn’t safe for me. That was one of the scariest moments of my life. At 16, I had to run away due to domestic violence, like my mother had done before me. Coming back to the U.S. and having a safe place saved my life, but it changed everything. It stole my identity, my sense of self, and my home. It took me years to feel like I belonged here. Today I dedicate my life to helping others find safety, freedom, and a soft place to land because that’s what I wish I had had. Fear has no place here. Bueno Law is my love child, the home away from home that I’ve created for you and I. Here, we get to change lives every day. I hope you’ll join us and trust us with your journey.
