Building collective breaths

Abstract

On behalf of the editorial committee of V!RUS Journal, I thank Profs. Drs. Gabriela Leandro Pereira, aka Gaia, and Joana D'Arc de Oliveira for accepting our invitation for this interview. For our twenty-fourth issue, we decided to invite a prominent researcher in the field related to gender issues intersecting with blackness, who, in turn, invited a researcher of her choice to be interviewed. This is how we are honored and privileged to participate in this conversation between these two black women who are outstanding in their fields and who kindly accepted this challenge.
