'm Brazilian, and here, many people, especially in the tech field, dream of moving to other countries. The main focus is usually Europe, due to our closer ties with Portugal, or the USA. Being Black and hearing stories about situations involving racism (because I'm Black, and that's a very important factor to consider when thinking about moving) and xenophobia has only made me never want to leave here. I live far from central areas, working remotely, and I can't understand what another country could offer me that I don't already have here.

That said, nowadays, I always advise young people to stay here so we can develop our tech industry and not go abroad to be mistreated and make foreign companies richer!
