The mentorship sessions have been really great. It's always nice to share our years of knowledge in the industry with the folks who are just starting out and to be able to answer their questions and help them forge a path in the games field. Mentorias Games Brasil program has been incredible and a great bridge to connect industry professionals with young talents eager to learn. It's been very rewarding and an amazing experience!

I had a mentorship session with Dhara Luna and it was really great. She was quick and very helpful, assisting in organizing ideas, answering questions, and raising important points for the project's development. In the future, I hope to show her the project in a more advanced stage and have mentorship sessions with mentors from other areas for this project!

My goal is to make Brazil an even greater benchmark in the video game industry!
When I started in the industry, it was a completely new world for me and I couldn't find much content about the challenges that I faced every day. What helped me a lot at this stage were the people who were willing to have conversations with me, share their stories, and give me advice on which paths to take. I remember that, last year, I sent messages to more than 30 people asking for just one conversation, and, of those 30, only 4 accepted. But these 4 changed my life.
Recently, Amir Satvat (former Principal Publisher of Amazon Games) created a mentorship program called “Reach Out Anytime”, on which professionals from all areas of the gaming industry volunteer for 30-minute mentorships with beginners looking to meet more experienced professionals for guidance. However, this program is not accessible to most Brazilians, as meetings usually need to be in English. So, that inspired me to bring this initiative to Brazil, connecting our great professionals with beginners and fostering our ecosystem to grow even more!
