She has a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and believes that the Público was her school of journalism. She spent 14 years in the international politics section exploring, Asia in particular. What does a school for migrant children in Beijing have in common with a middle-class family in Tokyo? A writer in Goa looking for their identity in the largest slum in Mumbai? The lowering the Portuguese flag in Macao and a trip through Thai cuisine? Nothing and a lot. For Francisca Gorjão Henriques, all the reports were lessons on how each place is multiple. She believes that these years helped her in the steps that followed.
