The actress Gabriela Medeiros who plays the character Buba in the remake of the soap opera “Reborn “, she spoke about her childhood this Wednesday (21) during an interview: “I allowed myself to exist”.
“I think this child always wanted to externalize who she really was. The essence, the interior, the core. And today, I can be who I am. I allowed myself to live my experience, I allowed myself to exist. That’s important: existing,” she said.
The actress also said that she has always been a person who liked art. “I would hug this child a lot [ela mesma no passado], no doubt. This child grew up from poetry, from drawings, he would draw for hours and hours.”
The statement was made in an interview with journalist Patrícia Poeta on the program “Encontro”, on TV Globo.
The subject had already been addressed by Gabriela Medeiros on social media, when she published an old photo of herself as a child and wrote a text for herself (see the post below).
In the caption, the actress highlighted that, if she could speak to the child she once was, she would tell her that she “wasn’t born in the wrong body”. “That her way of being is special, that her look at the world is unique, that her sensitivity is not a sign of weakness.”
The actress also said that, as a child, she never imagined that one day she would become an actress and play an iconic and striking character like Buba, capable of provoking several discussions in Brazilian society.

In the original version of “Renascer”, from 1993, Buba was not a trans woman, but an intersex person, and was also not played by a transgender woman, but a cisgender woman.
