“The Human Being is Only Free When He is Master of Himself”
These words cap a mural in a favela high over Rio De Janeiro. Epictetus’s words frame the lives of three street sellers descending from the hills to sell their homemade foods on the “Farme” section of Ipanema Beach. The independent dignity of these vendors embody entrepreneurship and lives well lived. The three have been known and loved by the LGBTQ+ community on the Farme Beach, for decades.
