Alexia Brito (Bacabal, January 4, 2005), better known by the artistic name Bota Pó, is a trans woman from Maranhão who works as an influencer, makeup artist, and comedian. She produces content in the field of makeup as well as material related to the LGBT movement and the transgender cause.[1][2]
She gained prominence on the internet by creating content on social media platforms[3] and garnered attention when she announced her gender transition at the age of 17, receiving support from various celebrities.[4][5][6][7]
In 2021, she was invited by the Government of the State of Maranhão to star in the television campaign for the launch of the Gonçalves Dias Education Platform.[8] Due to the aired advertisement, Bota Pó became the target of homophobic attacks from the Maranhão senator Roberto Rocha (PSDB), who claimed that the campaign was promoting "homosexuality advocacy".[9][10]
