#brazil

Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, and a passionate storyteller, Sil loves to explore the world and different cultures. She believes her mission is to build bridges that connect people to their goals, so bridging cultural gaps is one of her strengths. With 30 years of experience in companies such as Google and WPP ad agencies, Sil left the corporate world to focus on her company, STORY by Sil Curiati, where she helps people Talk the Walk by making sense of their fragmented stories, feeling proud about them, and developing the ability to identify their superpowers. As a lifelong learner herself, Sil is now pursuing her Master’s degree in Psychology at Harvard, currently studying the narratives of storytellers in flight who have been displaced and struggle to find a place to call home.

In the 6th episode of my podcast series, I had the privilege of having a deep conversation with Ricky, a strong, single, independent and resilient 27-year-old man from Brazil. He started an impressive journey to Australia at the young age of 21, with a student visa and a strong determination. You will quickly see it. 

Working in a store back in Brazil, Ricky was looking for a change and an opportunity in tourism industry. That’s why he chose to start studying hotel management in Adelaide.

However, Ricky's path has not been calm and easy. Studying in Australia as a foreigner means navigating the complexities of balancing work, life and education, with a legal limit of 20 hours of work weekly. And for a foreigner studying in Australia is expensive. Like shocking. 3 times the price of the best business school in Paris. I love my French country and our free universities.

Ricky is also family oriented. But still, he took the hard decision to move to Australia and came back to his country after 6 years. 

I’m so impressed on how Ricky found resources to pay his studies, lived decently, finished his 5 years degree and despite facing several issues and moral pressure he kept going and faced everything by himself, alone. In his speech you can really feel his deep kindness by forgiving people who tried to manipulate him or prevent him from reaching his dreams. 

He wanted to quit, every day. But still he kept going, believing that his future would be has he had imagined. It’s been 6 years now! And he is getting closer to get his Permanent residency. 

Ricky is not just strong and independent; he's a ray of sunshine, always spreading love, smiles, and positivity. In our chat, we discussed his strong family link despite the distance, the importance of making your own decisions, and where his strength come from.
