Mônica Benício is an inspiration.
After her wife, Rio City Councilwoman Marielle Franco was assassinated in 2018 by paramilitary gangs linked to former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Mônica was elected to fill her seat on the Rio City Council.
Today marks the 6th anniversary of the murder of her wife, and I sat down with her office in Rio de Janeiro to discuss Marielle’s grief and how she continues to fight the good fight.
