“I never thought about joining a Brazilian academy. It’s a little crazy, but I’m grateful,” said Margareth Menezes. “That it? Strong, right? I never imagined that I would be immortal. But I believe in reincarnation; so we are all immortal anyway,” he added.
The Brazilian Cultural Academy is attended by 55 personalities from different areas of the country’s culture, including the singer Zeca Pagodinho, the presenter and journalist Fátima Bernardes and the actress Lilia Cabral.
