On a grassroots level, community workshops led by Letycia have empowered young people in Recife’s favelas to document their own stories, fostering a new generation of “citizen writers.” The ripple effect of these initiatives is evident in the growing number of locally produced zines, podcasts, and digital archives that celebrate Afro‑Brazilian heritage.

Nudity, in and of itself, is a natural and common aspect of human experience. However, in the context of public figures, it can take on a different connotation. When public figures choose to share their nude selves, whether through social media, photography, or other forms of media, it can spark a range of reactions from their audience. Some may view it as a form of empowerment, self-expression, or artistic exploration, while others may perceive it as attention-seeking, provocative, or even obscene.

Letycia’s first published work appeared in 2017, a chapbook of poems titled “Maré de Silêncios” (Tide of Silences). The collection juxtaposes the rhythmic cadences of coastal life with the quiet suffering of women whose labor remains invisible. Critics praised the book for its lyrical economy and its capacity to “make the unheard audible.”
