“When I stepped foot on the field, I saw that my drums were on the stage and I walked towards them so that I could play, and get in touch with the happiness, that joy that was beating inside my heart. At a certain point, right there on stage, some of the drummers came up to me, kind of saying goodbye.” what. I didn't understand. And it was not just one person, but several people were coming to me to say goodbye, saying why I was leaving,” the actress said.

“I didn't know what to answer, I didn't know how to say what was happening at that particular moment. I wasn't warned, my advisor wasn't warned, and nobody on my team, who was always there with me, was warned.” I was warned there in all training. I had no land at that moment, I couldn't tell, I didn't know where to go. I was sad, with tears in my eyes, it was very sad. “What I went through there at that moment was very sad. It was a moment of joy and relaxation, and I let out a cry of happiness: ‘We are champions’, ‘We are winners’.”

After a rumor that she was leaving her position, Thalita asked the school principal what was happening. “Lara said it was nothing more than a lie, that she hadn't said anything to anyone, that she didn't know who announced it, and that we were supposed to go back to court, there, and get back to 'We had a good time, we had fun.' At that moment, I felt more comfortable with what she told me. I went downstairs and tried to play with the people again, and dance with them. Once I got there, it all started again.”

The situation made the blonde uncomfortable. He stressed, “I just wanted to run away from there, and disappear, because it was terrible. The feeling was terrible, that pain inside me and I didn't want people to see that I was crying.”

In her response, the actress made it clear that she did not mind sharing the role. “I do not own the school, I do not run it, and it would be selfish and arrogant for me to think that I would practice samba in front of my drum forever. Even if the school had come up with the idea or suggested it, come, woman of the community, a black woman, for me it would be a privilege to I get to share this space with a community woman, a black woman, because at the end of the day we are minority women. Me, with the flag of my country (of a trans woman), and her holding the flag of a black woman, the indigenous woman, the woman of descent. That would be an honor and a privilege. ”

Thalita also said that she was not upset about not participating in the special group next year. “If I really wanted to be in the special group, I would, because I was invited to be in the special group. But I was invited by Unidos de Padre Miguel to be the queen of Unidos de Padre Miguel. There I gave myself body and soul to the school and the community. I was welcomed “Very well, and I had so much love and affection from everyone there, from the entire community that embraced me and accepted me as a queen. I was upset with the way the whole story was handled.”

Finally, she emphasized that it is not wrong to want to control the school in one's own group. “What sin would I commit when I wanted to be in the private group with my school? After all, without any exception, all schools in the access group dream of being in the private group,” she highlighted. , and was grateful for the affection shown by the Vila Vintém community. “Thank you very much, guys, for all the love you have given me during these two years. This feeling and this love that we have built, nothing and no one will erase this from us… I hope Unidos de Padre Miguel continues in this very dreamy, show-stopping mode.” Special, do not be like a yo-yo going up and down, because you are great.”

Unidos de Padre Miguel wants to return to its origins

“Unidos de Padre Miguel has always been a school that values ​​its community, and gives opportunities to girls from the community. The previous queen, Thalita, was queen of the community. She ruled for 15 years and then Thalita came to us. She became queen in 2023. She has done a wonderful job, participating “In every way in the best possible way, because she lives outside the country, but Oneidos already had this desire to be her own queen of society again.” Oh day.

“Regardless of the title or not, this idea had already been matured by the school administration. So, regardless of whether the school went to the special group or not, it would be about having a community queen again, but there is nothing confirmed that “Thalita is a wonderful person, the community loves her very much.”

Zampiroli was the first transgender woman to participate in the show in the private collection, at the Marquis de Sapucai. Before her came Elwina dos Leopardos, who held the position in 1976, but when parades were not held in the traditional sambadrome.
