"To be yourself you need to suffer, pretty thing."
I don't think I've ever had a quote hit me so hard before
These words hit me real hard too, even 4 years after it came out. I can't believe I just saw this.
I teared up, it's such a good line, and delivered with such soul and empathy, they were amazing.
Never? Ever been to the gym? Jeez. Suffer.
ohhh yes it is quite true. to stick to one's own path requires the strength of 5million spiritual heavyweights .
Yes. Absolutely. Reminds me of a quote by Maya Angelou " the price is high, the reward is great" in reference to belonging to yourself
She showed more black women in this video than Brazilian TV shows in an entire semester
Ein Nachtgespenst thats honestly sad.
Why do you know that ? Your name is german
So did you do a exchange year
You certainly never watched brazilian TV
Lucas Fontes for sure
Black people In Brazil is only 8% of its population, therefore you’re ignorant and don’t know shit.
Amazing doc. As a brazilian woman it's the first time I feel respected by an international documentary. Thank you

Quoting this forever
Maeiko yes
Maeiko to start with, I read this as a negative, like she was being sarcastic. But now I can see how people are taking it more 'positively'
Lisa Rose It's easy to misunderstand, no harm done. I misunderstood it at first as well but when I reread it, it clicked. For us to be our true selves, we gotta let it all out. No more hiding and no more fakeness. And for that we've got to suffer the stigma that surrounds the choices we make about who we finally want to become.
So true +Maeiko
does anyone know how she said it in portuguese?
Nayara is so beautiful. I'm always stunned by the beauty of dark skinned women, why doesn't the media see it? I don't understand.
And Grace is such a freaking good interviewer! Always respectful and fearless asking all the right and interesting questions.
White supremacy and colorism is global, sadly.
Anni Mae o
Ikr!! I don't get it. Some of these girls leave me with my mouth opened by how pretty they're. And they're so powerful and special i don't get it;;;;
glamorchick954 get a brain
after watch this video I'm feeling better with myself,I'm black,I'm brazilian,i have a big nose and the people always make jokes,BUT I LOVE MYSELF...
Malka you're beautiful! Fuck those people making jokes, man
Malka I'm from Turkey and I do not get those people. I adore Brazilians, I adore black people. Colored people have beautiful, unique bodies and very strong skin. I just can not understand how this racism thing works, really. Honestly, I'd fuckin love my body to death if I was a brazilian. And no, I do not talk about the stereotypical standards of Brazilian beauty. I'm talking about your natural hair, your bodies' potentials. You guys are the superior races and we whites are jealous as fuck.
Sweetheart, Brazilian is not a race. There is no such thing as a "Brazilian body", don't be stupid. Also, a Turk speaking for whites? hahaha. Us whites are fucking proud of our race ;-)
i dont see anything but human race around here
sshironodeath toresu ye need some fucking glasses then mate
So fucking depressing that those women cannot even take public transit home at night, I hear this way too often in many other countries too..
Madelope it is dangerous in this area FOR EVERYONE. The video made it seem like it is dangerous for women but no, são Paulo is dangerous for everyone, of course for women is worse but it is not exclusive. Brazil is a violent country like many others 3rd world countries
lils that was something that was not so well translated because it's a slang. Here when we say "hunting" we mean that we are going out looking for someone to hook up with. It has nothing to do with rape, it's not making humor with that or is a rape joke. It's two completely different situations, when we say hunting means that you want to have sex and you're going after someone that wants the same thing, it has consent of both parts.
maccajoe chill dude, I didn't offend anyone, I just explained because there was another comment that was deleted where someone said it was depressing when they said they were going hunting man because it sounded like they were making humor out of the possibility of being a victim, maybe for you was super obvious but there were definitely a lot of people on the comments that didn't get it, no need to be ignorant and start calling people retarded.
The comment she made was very unfortunate.
The area is not specifically dangerous to women, its dangerous for everyone.
She did make it look like rape or any other women-specific kind of crime were a sure thing, which fortunately it isn't. Unless she considers catcalling rape, but even that is not that likely.
The comment would make a lot more sense if she mentioned the risk of getting mugged or robbed. Or even killed.
Is Sao Paulo dangerous? of course it can be as almost all big citys in the World. But for the first time in history Sao Paulo has had less then 10 deaths for 100 thousand people with puts it below the threshold for epidemic violence according to the UN and is dropping in the crimes rates. So its kinda strange to see people reacting so strongly like violence and crime is a sure thing when, in fact, the city is safer then it has ever being in its WHOLE HISTORY
It's such a tragic and brutal reality that these girls refuse to walk home and catch public transport because they believe they'll be attacked and raped. It cut even deeper how blase and matter-of-fact they were when discussing it, it shouldn't be a reality but it is.
Indeed. It really is quite Sad! And just so horrible that 'That's the way it "is".'
I am afraid to get back home from school at noon
I'm a 13yo I shouldn't be having this kind of fear but I have
I'm from Argentina, every girl (young or grow up) knows that you don't walk around in the night. It's forbiden
It should never be a reality. I hope all the women in this video and the rest in Brazil and of course the world stay safe and never have to go through such a horrific thing.
If they teach the girls not to go outside at night, I wonder what they teach the boys.
Am I the only one that finds Grace's voice relaxing? Her voice is so adorable lol
I know right
its the best xo
Agreed! It's really calming and sweet ᵕ̈
I agree 100% .
True story!
Y'all do not mess around when it comes to unwrapping issues that intersect with standards of beauty and feminine rights. Thank you.
Grace Neutral seems like such a lovely person. I like her because she connects with the middle class young people and wants to encourage everyone to express themselves with a positive mindset.
How's that then?
Wow, I am so inspired by her ... Maybe I am gonna scribble stuff all over my body and stick some pins in my nose.
Todd Luton This video is literally about accepting other people and you’re not doing any of that shut rn. Stfu
@@tluton64 almost died laughing, god level banter
I loved when the hairstylist kissed his client's afro.
Love your natural self is my opinion. Afro, curly hair whatever l, skin color is just pigment, personality makes people good or bad.
I swear Brazil has the most beautiful people. Everyone is absolutely gorgeous.
Can't get over how pretty the girls with shaved heads are
Phoebe kerridge the black one yes
Tommy Shelby you mean both of them..😍
Yeah Priscila and Thays, they seem really cool too. Love how comfortable they are with themselves very.
@Peter Belanger Guess I’m a male lesbian.
Peter Belanger You obviously did not understand the point of this video. At all.
12:01 Absolutley WRONG and TRAGIC what happened to Nayara.
Brazilians are not crazy AF. This could've happenned anywhere around the world, and it does. All the time. People are crazy af. The norms and rules of whats pretty and whats not are crazy AF
its fucked up what happened to her but most of the people in brazil that hate on her was because when you win this contest you dance in a comercial naked and only painted so the husband of the second placed woman paid the judges for her not to win when the second placed girl was suppose to win :) but its true Brazilians are very racist especially the cops witch just happen to be the police that most kill in the world ( a lot of innocent black people )
just so you have an idea, the statistics say that 83 black kids (from children to teenagers) die everyday
how could they dethrone her and replace her!
Brazil is KNOWN for crime so yeah it could’ve happened anywhere but it predominately happens in Brazil
why I took so long to watch this doc, thanks guys. i'm a black brazilian man and felt represented, by my sisters and brothers.
I loved the way Grace talked to the girls, she's so sweet.
I was watching this and even tho I'm brazilian when brazilian girls talked I read the subtitles wtf is wrong with me hahaha
This video is beautiful by the way!!!
eu tbm,é automático kkkj
sim, é hahahaha
ajsoiajsoiajsoais same here D:
Juliana Almeida lmao same 😂
I'm brazilian. I've lived here for most of my life. In the south of brazil where there aren't many people of color, so racism runs wild. I'm not black. Though I don't consider myself white either. I'm adopted, so I don't really know my origins. But my boyfriend is black and i see the way people look at us when we walk down the street holding hands. Specially if we're in a "richer" part of town. I hear racism from my own family about my relationship. Some think that simply because of his color, he wont mount to anything in life but that's not one bit true. If people only took the time to talk to the person behind the melanin, things would already but much easier.
But on that note, I completely understand the girls not feeling safe walking down the street alone, or at night. I don't do that either. Public transport, even during day time, can be very dangerous for women. So much so that my parents prefer to make sacrifices to my me a used car so I didn't have to take the bus to go to college or anywhere else i need to be. I hear stories from some of my friends when the were going somewhere and a guy starts obviously following them. Or during rush hour, when there's barely room to breathe, someone will rub up against. And this doesn't go for only girls. Gay men also suffer a lot, and not to mention the physical assault.
Brazil has a lot of growing to do and I hope i live to see the day where we can all live in peace.
Im half Brazilian myself and Im very surprised to see just how many parallels with The U.S. we actually have. Its....actually quite disheartening because some of the sweetest and most cordial people I've met in Brazil are afrobrazilian or native american descendants.
Same here for india as girlswho r poor mostly take public transportation but ppl who can afford a scooter or car give it to their girls for going to places as public transport sys is definitely not safe .... i have experienced that if you happen to wear something stylish mayb eg a crop top u better b ready for getting stared to core by men on the bus
Do you still live there? j/c sounds a lot like America tbh :( I guess our public transport isn't that terrible but it's not the epitome of safety or anything.
Heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.
My beautiful and amazing mistress how is it disgusting?
The fact that women are having to add fake plastic crap into their bodies to fit the "beauty" status. And doing it at such a young age.
Grace is such a kind soul, she seems to be really kind to everyone she interviews.
okay but I love her scars. I naturally have a moon scar on my forhead and I was always made fun of for it.. so seeing someone actually go and get scars done on their face is really rad
That sounds so fucking cool.
Fuck them, rock that shit!
I have a ton of scars because I’m really clumsy, and I have one on my face from a cat scratch which looks like scar from the lion king? So honestly, your scar sounds frickin amazing and you should rock that shit!
Love all of your comments :)
@@katesh6766 I have loads of fighting scars and I still think that they are cool and I carry injuries too so people usually ask me if I was in a car crash and when I say no I got them protecting my family and friends along with my friends and the other young fellows back in the day in England but it makes me seem violent to aggressive people like they see me as the man they want to test them selves out on
Aw I got really emotional watching Nayara struggle to tell her story, you could tell that it has really affected her and it was amazing of Grace to comfort her like that.
It is the first video that I watch, and as a Brazilian I can say that living here is very bad.
I know of many places that life is much worse but prejudice and sale of the female body here never seems to diminish.
Black woman exists only in the carnival, short-haired woman is always lesbian, and the tattoo is always a difficulty more to get a job.
I loved the video but I was sad when I saw the women with long hair getting ready to go hunting man. Very sad it. It's shameful.
Delta De Venus Unfortunately not.
World tend to see us as a racial tolerant country, but, in fact, racism was (and is) something structural here. In later years, some stuff had changed (just a little, to be honest with you), but when my mom, for exemple, did college she was the only black woman at class. Today, i can see more diversity at educational system but far from ideal. Thanks for your apointment. :)
I agree that those women being excluded and ridiculed was horrible. However I do not agree that it is sad that those long haired girls went out to hunt men. Why should they not, if they love it?!
Giovanna Chiconini that is true but you gotta know that this isn't only in Brazil.
they can do whatever they want,its not shamed as long as it is legal
all of these girls are GORGEOUS
I've always thought of Brazilians as mixed people. I didn't know everyone was trying to look white. My husband and I are both mixed race, Brazil has been the only country we feel like we fit in. I'm sad to see the negative black stereotyping there too 😔
the negative black stereotype is not strict to any particular country, unfortunately. It´s part of a much bigger order. But at the same time.... I can say that right there in the middle of the people, in the heart of popular neighborhoods in Brazil, deep down, everybody knows that black is beautiful. Every Brazilian is somehow touched by African culture. And can identify to that. So it´s complex, there is an ambiguity as well... African culture is our homeland as well, in music, food, football, carnival and all the national identities, really. That is why you thought it would be positive to be black. You were right too. I am considered white here but I feel black at the end. I want to feel black and be part of Brazilian culture, because it´s more beautiful and genuine. The whites here try to copy Europeans, but they can´t. They are a false imitation. Now, another sad part is that my grandfather had Indian blood but our family can´t relate to that. You see, it´s really tragic what has happened to the Indian people. They have been wiped out. and striped of their own history by European colonization.
I'm french, white and i though too, that Brazil was THE best place for black people. In Europe we see brazilian people with a lot of mixed culture.
Sorry for my english ^^'
That's sad that everywhere black people are... you know... I can't finf the word in English :') but, it makes me sad for black people.
Don't let yourself be fooled by the people with victim complex in this video. Brazil is a mixed country and we do welcome different countries. We're basically five different countries combined into one, such is our cultural diversity. Those people are just trying to be edgy. They are what we call Iphone socialist warriors. They think they are in the USA.
MsSusiePan. Just shut the fuck up. Brazil is racist as fuck. Look at how White the actors, business guys and politicians are. You are disgusting pieces of shit for trying to hide this stuff from foreigners and Black Brazilians themselves.
Every single person in this video is gorgeous.
Damn they all have nice smooth looking skin ;-;
Yandere Virus stay hydrated and dont eat so much processed foods
Roacutan is why hahaha (it´s a joke, kind of, perfect skin is also a standard here).
As a white, middle class man living in São Paulo, this is such a powerful video to me. It's so inspiring seeing women (and especially women of color) claiming their place in society. We're all equals in this world.
Much love from Brazil.
Como mulher negra e brasileira eu nunca me senti mais orgulhosa e representada em nível internacional como através desse documentário. Obrigada aos envolvidos!! ❤❤
All these docu's with Grace are simply amazing. And you just have to appreciate the filming and editing. Like 31:41. That's just dope.
FilmDat yes, I LOVE IT TOO
The culture of Brazil looks so beautiful - it's so sad they have so much sexism. It's really inspiration to see these women fighting against what's being done to them.
She should explore beauty in Arab culture!! That would be amazing
Beauty isn't real. It's not eternal. It fades. In the end, all you'll have is your soul. The true you, without the shell of an appearance over it. In the end, it'll all depend on your personality and how you treat others.
Jessica Lee beauty is real. Beauty to me is exactly what you described there^:) It is a social construct though, so the common idea of beauty needs to change from appearance, to our souls.
Desiree Hernandez Well said!
well said
Jessica Lee there is true to this. But we live in a world where people judge by skin and beauty unfortunately. People with different backgrounds should express their beauty to be noticed and be heard. Unfortunately thats how it's works in our current lifetime and it is effective
mimimimi "social construct" bullshit
11:30 I had a really bad day today. Like a panic attack at my job bad. I didn't know how much i needed to hear these reassuring statements until these lovely ladies said them, and it truly resonates. There is a sacred bond between all women, and I am so thankful to be part of it.
I love how they meet up at 1:31. Their hugs look so warm and welcoming. I do that as well but many people misunderstand it... It's just sharing some love and that's amazing I think.
I love this series, I get so excited when they upload !
Teresa Insa SAME
Portuguese sounds amazing, actually. Just found out, that I like it a lot and now consider one of the most beautiful languages in the world ♡
just brazilian portuguese, portugal portuguese sounds crazy
I really feel this topic : in France a woman must have perfect skin, be slim yet somewhat curvy, have perfect hair, white teeth, full lips, light coloured eyes and wonderful makeup.
And if you don't fit in the standards too bad for you then
Siu Wan what do you mean by too bad? if you don't have some of these 'ideals' how would that affect your life?
Siu Wan Siu Wan yh thats not gd cuz im sure you go for fat guys with yellow teeth ugly skin and messed up bald patches in their hair
Please let me know who sets the beauty standards in France and who polices them
I don't really agree with you except for the "be slim yet somewhat curvy" part. I don't feel like France is a country where girls are pressured to be beautiful, at least not as much as Brazil. What you described seems to be the Baddie look that is really appreciated among teenagers nowadays. However, I do have to say that being at least a bit tanned is preferred and having light hair (blonde, or blonde highlights) is really trendy.
Silmarieni C Probably the media once more and the people
At 14:15 when the actress started telling her story I cried so hard. It's a damn shame that this is the reality for some people
Sending love and appreciation from Austin, TX. Being raised as a first-gen Kenyan-American, I feel SOOOO lucky that I grew up in Memphis (a majority black city) where my school system actually taught me about my history as a black person. Granted, all I learned is school is people who look like me being enslaved, nothing of what we were before. But my teachers at all levels were always letting us know how the "light-skin, long hair" standards started as a way to keep slaves fighting each other for slightly better treatment from whites(look up the Willie Lynch Letter).
I can't believe how my childhood would be without even having black Barbies, wow!
As a young black female, I'm always having to deal with people telling me that I'm "pretty for a black girl" or that I "don't sound how they thought I would". Online dating is the worst for being black especially which sucks as a millennial because that's all we know.
These women [in the video] are so strong and beautiful! I thank you for bringing their stories here!
Karla Njathi I went to school in Memphis, too. It did help me a lot seeing people that looked like me, too.
Karla Njathi aaaayyy ATX in the house!
Karla Njathi aaaayyy ATX in the house!
I know I'm late to the party, but I live in Austin, too!
if you turn on the tv in Brazil you will have the impression that you are living in a european country.
YOURE SO RIGHT!
A maioria da população é branca, seu imbecil. O que esperava?
William Landim não é não, mais ainda sim esse Douglas tá falando merda
tru shit
is because most people in Brazil have european descent, Brazil is a mix of african countries with european countries
The women of this documentary are true beauty, I need more documentation from Grace tbh, they are so interesting
What was with that line of questioning, when Grace questioned whether it was too much of a risk to get a boob job, cause it could increase chance of rape?! WTF. Rape is a CRIME not a social issue so its a matter for law enforcement officers to deal with. Grace is completely pandering to the offenders there by asking that women change their behaviour. The only real way to that address that problem is with law and order reform/legislative response.
Mad i dont think this was what she was saying at all. the girls themselves brought up their looks , their clothing as things that would increase the chance of getting raped. this may be either reality or what those women actually believe. and grace only went with this thought process and narrative. that does not mean she would in any way blame a rape victim for getting raped or something ridiculous like that
The reality is that you might not even have boobs, if you're at the wrong place, at the wrong moment you may be a victim. This is true for women, for men, children...
Why should she as you say "go with the narrative" at all.. Couldnt she empower that girl to do what she wanted in spite of her circumstance, in the same way she did for the girls with shaved heads and tattoos. Her message was inconsistent. She should empower all women!
She was empowering her. She wasn't questioning in order to convince her not to get the surgery, she was questioning her in order to see her logic, and learn more about the Brazilian culture
I just think she was more embracing of certain kinds of body modification that appealed to her rather than all kinds.
But, They are all so Gorgeous! I found myself a little overwhelmed by all the beautiful women in this video...
I wanna go to Brazil but I don't wanna feel as if I am a pile of shit.
Honey, just so you know, don't give a damn about what people think of you, just be you and don't let anyone bring you down! I know that you will be more than welcome here in Brazil ♥
just come.
its not particularly bad compared to a lot of the countries I`ve been to.
Its a conservative society, some places here are better, some of them are worse.
i would be more concerned about general violence, and asking everyone here about where you should be safe to be.
you won't, seriously :)
sou brasileiro e vou nessas festa me adiciona no WHATSAPP. ..
Ruine we have a beautiful country and it would be a pleasure to have you here!
i sometimes wonder why people dislike black ones? i find them look really beautiful on their own way! If you are a black person , please be your self don't try to straighten your hair and lighten your skin , Believe me when i say You are Beautiful no matter what
I think Grace would make the kindest grandparent, I can imagine her talking to the youth in 30 or more years and helping them out a lot and telling them about her struggles and her generations struggles and how we overcame them. Idk I’ve got this super clear picture of what kind of person she will be in the future
all of these people are conventionally attractive by default...
hahaha
Grace Neutral is an amazing interviewer/host. The way she grabbed the interviewee's hand, as she started to break down (despite the language barrier).... she is amazingly compassionate and passionate about what she does and who she is. I wish she had her own show.
Oh my God, Grace you freaking rock. This was so enlightening and Grace couldn't have been more sensitive, professional and human. Grace for President!
The two girls with the shard heads are absolutely stunning and their bravery to pull of such a fantastic look is applauded
I don't think I've ever watched a video where I was so inspired, hurt or have genuinely identified with more than this video right here. I got teary and felt everything the girls were feeling. This is why women need to be heard and Grace is doing such a great job! 🎉 ❤️
one of the best documentaries I've seen about Brazil's way of dealing with its multiculturalism/multiracial background.
I absolutely love everything about this video. So in powering to see woman complimenting and encouraging instead of tearing down eachother.
I loved it! but as a native american descendant, I wish you'd show a little bit of that side, that side that has been forgoten by many many people including us brazilians.
Did anyone else melt when Priscila said
"To be yourself, you need to suffer, pretty thing."
The way she looked into the camera oml 😍
Nayara's story absolutely broke my heart, I dont understand why people find reasons to hate. I hope shes doing well and keeping her head high! Shes a beautiful and well spoken young woman.
And yes I LOVE the black women doing their natural hair! The strength that hair holds is amazing and I wish everyone appreciated it more!
It's just unbelievable to think that women are so obviously pressured yet there are people that say it's all overreactions...
seriously, all those girls could be freaking models. they are so beautiful and inspiring!
This video gave me so much unpleasant feelings... As a woman getting sexually harassed when walking on the streets pretty much everyday... Even thinking about it makes me so anxious. Luckily there are women in Brazil like Iay who try to make a difference.
I just.. I love these. 1) the subjects are accurately and thoroughly researched 2) Grace asks questions but doesn't push. She doesn't judge for whatever a person likes 3) the editing is on point
Also, I love the image of Nayara and Grace holding hands across the table.
Most of latinamerican countries are segregated by race. People with european origins are always the rich ones and they don't interact so much with people with latin/african inheritage and vice versa. This is why there's much racism. You can guess how much money a person has, where they may live, and what kind of education they had just by looking at them... excuse my english 😝
People of Latin origin are of European heritage (in those countries). They were colonized by Spain and Portugal, whose languages are romance. I think you meant African or Native origin. Many of the more well-off Brazilians are also of Japanese or Lebanese origin.
Believe it or not, in Brazil, there are also very white people who are poor, especially in the south. They are mostly of Easter-European origin. They of course don't have to deal with racism so much.
Besides the Portuguese, who basically came up with the country, I've noticed that people who are better off in Brazil are either of Italian, Lebanese, German or Japanese origin.
The problem in Brazil is that beauty standards focus a lot on one type of people, even though there are black, white, Asian and Native people Brazil, not to mention all the possible mixes.
@@hiphipjorge5755 tf hoy talking about? You are not even talking about SA you at talking about north (Mexico) an Costa Rica (Centro)... in south America the thing is different, the number of indigenous people is bigger than the number of mixed or white. And the problems begins there because politics and economics are ruled by this low percentage of people who doesn't consider the most predominant population, they always say this shit about everybody is mixed, like it was true when it's not. In my country for example (Bolivia) the 90% is indigenous. You go to the streets and what you are more likely to see is people with indigenous features (a no ser que estes en Sucre, ahí la mayoría son blancos por que era la capital del Virreinato de la Plata). Not accepting the reality of a country is equal to not accepting their people. Don't be naive.
your English is literally flawless
Just stop. Everyone knows those stereotypes instead of just repeating insanity why don't you think about the best way of spreading your ideas. By saying that those norms should not be an obstacle TO FUCKING KNOWING SOMEONE. Idk why but ur comment made me angry. I felt the "ENOUGH" feeling.
@@AmokBR more than 50 percent of brazilians are mixed...
the girl with the silver braids is so pretty
One of the best docs I've come across recently. Huge thanks to its producers and to Grace, whose activism through a very humanistic approach only inspires me and surely other women to pursue the path of self-expression and acceptance! I am from Brazil and find it hard to relate to girls like those 3 party-ladies. I still respect them and can understand what might go through their heads, but I just can partake in that movement... LOVE brave women who aren't afraid of embracing their bodies and roots. I have fair skin, but that is just a chance. My grandmother was mulata and her parents were black. I have traces of that root in my body that I have struggled to accept, for not finding any representation of that on mainstream media. It's still a fight I need to fight with myself every day, constantly remind myself of my worth and my unique beauty. So proud of these young women!
Does anyone know the girls with the shaved heads instagrams or other socials

Being a Brazilian myself it was such an amazing doc to watch, most videos we see it doesnt really show how its Brazil, and seeing that Grace had so many amazing questions and really did amazing research with amazing women was incredible! Thank you so much for that!
Brazil has some of the most beautiful fashion forward edgy black and mixed raced i have ever seen!
I would love to watch a documentary about islamic feminism pleaseeee ❤️❤️
Me too, but thats against Islam, so the contradiction must raise many questions
mapinguarimonster its not against islam. Islam stopped the infanticide of girls and gives women rights in marriage and society.
now there's something I'd like to see
lol wow
Well when they stop jailing, stoning, and shooting their feminists maybe it'll happen.
Precisou de um documentário estrangeiro pra eu perceber a real situação de meu país. Como tatuador, este tema de autoaceitação se tornou uma pesquisa recorrente, documentários assim são ótimas fontes de informação!
I'm brazilian and that is so fucking powerful.
I'm really enjoying this series and watching Grace exploring and digging deeper than we see most doing. Powerful stuff. I'm a white woman in America so I have no idea the depths of hurt and shame these women have been through but I LOVE seeing them revolting and being brave and strong! I'm here for it. And Grace is just the perfect person to do this, such a beautiful human!
woah this comments section is disgusting
eualadindeal Well, whats critique about "damn shes so hot does she do porn???" ?
F*ckin edgelords.
Men get disgusting when they feel threatened
and it continues even on here, what were the chances of that? quite high
I don't even know what anyone's arguing about
It's not a gender thing. It's a maturity thing.
13:41 God i just wanna reach through the screen and give her a giant hug. I feel so bad that she had to endure all that vile racist abuse while also getting decrowned bc of her race. How could they only see her skin color? It's clear as day she is a beautiful, kind person inside and and outside. F them.
oh my god i just want to hug the model / actress, she is so pretty!
I'm a brazilian girl and want to thank you for showing the world our reality! There were people on the video I didn't even know, it makes me happy to discover them
This may be one of the best things I've ever watched on RUclips. Ever.
I love this series and I hope it continues with her going to different continents
these series are so well edited, so well filmed, can't stop watching
I scrolled down to the comments thinking how nice it will be to not see people commenting on the appearance of any of these women... silly me 🙄 we have a long way to go
Duh! If you must comment, please make sense.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!
Grace is such a kind and gentle human being dude. I love her.
Obrigado por ter feito isso, eu adorei ❤️
Why people are so racist? Seriously!! We are all people, we need to respect each other, no matter the color of the skin. Im so lost.. I just dont understand ...
i love this series and the way Grace is approaching all these difficult topics in her own way - it's really inspiring and eye opening!
Is it just me or did that party look lit af! 😜
As a brazilian feminist woman I do apreciate this short documentary.
Thank you for showing the strength in every single one of them fighting the beauty stereotype, or not. It is something very beautiful and meaningful.
Thank you for, respecting our individualities in, this vídeo!
I can't believe they took her title away. They had the opportunity to really make a statement and start fighting bigotry and really making a difference. i hope she continues. Courage!
When I start to doubt my choices-- especially with my tattoo's I love to watch Grace's episodes with I-D. I have a few ink pieces myself and understandably not all my family agrees or even like my tattoo's. Especially with my mom, we are so close and I know (as any mother) it's hard to see your daughter do things-- like getting a tattoo, piercings-- and I know she means well, she just worries for me but it's still so hard!! When I'm constantly being reminded that having tattoo's will "ruin my life" sometimes when I'm having a bad day I start to get down on myself BUT again, what I love about Grace is there is no wrong way to have a body, and I love my body, my skin, and the art on my skin! They all mean so much to me and all I can ask is people just accept me for me and if they can't, if they have the human restraint, keep your hurtful opinions to yourselves.
10:54 when she said she broke a guys nose before I laughed so hard 😂😂
Grace is such a loving person and a fantastic interviewer. Always respectful to different cultures. Love this series (:
"varias meninas bran- burguesas.." asjkdhasdh
achei q só eu tinha percebido essa kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
It boggles my mind that its 2020 we still designate how we treat people by the color of their skin. Like a human is an amazing human and all colors are beautiful so why? Color shouldn’t determine whether you are worthy of kindness or hate. Skin stereotypes and assumptions for all colors is just ignorance that need to stop. What a beautiful doc this was. Beautiful women inside and out!
Grace, you're so loving with people! I love it!
Wow, I really like Grace Neutral's series. People are indeed beautiful.
Grace Neutral is amazing! Her compassion, empathy, individuality and humanity really shines through. Well done, I’m impressed.
The thing that is truly beautiful is Respect for others as they are, and having the confidence to respect yourself as you are. There is no need to alter ones appearance to conform to social media standards, nor alter appearances to rebel against those media standards.. just be aux natural. If altering your appearance is something you truly think has to be done then go for it i suppose.. but it shouldn't be your first priority to change to become something ''beautiful'' in which you already are. The art of a beauty is in the eye of the beholder, people just need to alter their mindset not their appearance.
love this video :), I'm a Tattoo Artist in Puerto Rico and thank you for your work around the world ♡
