Congratulations Mestra Sarará on achieving the graduation of second-degree master — white and yellow. As Mestre Canguru said, her growth is reflected in her students and in everything she has accomplished on her capoeira journey and what she built in our community. Very well deserved. It was a very special moment, and I ask the capoeira community to help me extend our congratulations to our Mestra Sarará!
