Leandra Duarte, better known as Leandrinha Du Art (Passos, 28 March 1995),[1][2] is a Brazilian digital influencer. She works as a photographer, producer, blogger, and communicator. She is an activist for the causes of people with disabilities and LGBTQ people,[3] and is also a columnist for Mídia Ninja.[4] She is considered a reference on social media regarding gender and sexuality.[5]

Biography

Leandrinha was born in Passos, Minas Gerais, with Larsen Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects the development of the fetus's bones during gestation.[5] Due to the malformation, she faced self-esteem issues during adolescence and wore looser clothing.[1] Having been raised in a religious family, Leandrinha attended church. At age 17, she decided to leave the religion because she considered its precepts sexist and because she was exploring her sexuality,[6] initially coming out as gay to her family and, less than a month later, as a trans woman.[7] At the same age, she decided to stop undergoing surgeries related to Larsen Syndrome.[5]

Career

She began writing erotic short stories in 2013.[4] She started her online career in 2015 with posts on Facebook. Until 2021, she had a personal blog where she published texts such as chronicles, erotic short stories, and reflections.[8] In 2018, she ran for federal deputy for the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL), but was not elected.[1][8] In 2019, she was invited to give a speech at the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo, where she spoke about the lack of accessibility in the institution.[4] In 2022, she stood out by walking the runway for the first time at São Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW).[1][8]
