Actress and socio-environmental activist, Laila Zaid embarks in the next few days to the spa of Sharm el-Sheik, in Egypt, with a mission: to transmit, through their social networks, the most important news from COP27, the UN climate conference. The event runs until the 18th.
Laila is the only representative from Brazil among the six content producers on sustainability, the environment and climate change selected for this role. Volunteer teacher of the public education network in Rio and author of the children’s book “Handbook for Super-Heroes, the Beginning of the Sustainable Revolution”, the actress competed for one of the vacancies with hundreds of people from all over the world.
“There were more than 600 subscribers”, he says. “I was very excited about the opportunity, and even more to know that Brazil was once again invited to the meeting. In recent years, the Bolsonaro government has not sent a representative. Even before taking office, Lula was invited and this shows that our country has returned to an environmental agenda”.
Environmental issues have always been a concern for Laila, who, she admits, sometimes went overboard on patrol. “I was an ecochata”, she assumes, in a joking tone. Her restlessness, expressed more maturely, only grew, reaching its peak in the pandemic.
“I realized that I needed to seek greater awareness of myself and the people around me about the environment”, says the actress, who, during social isolation, left with her husband and two young children to the family farm, in the mountain region of Rio, where she wrote the book and began to vent her side as an environmental influencer.
With almost two decades of career in audiovisual, Laila was part of the cast of soap operas such as “Malhação”, “Além do Horizonte”, Pride e Paixão”, and shone in the cinema in “Tim Maia” and “Somos so Young”, among others. His next project deals with a recent tragedy.
She has just recorded her participation in the series “Todo Dia a Same Noite” (Netflix). Directed by Julia Rezende, the five-episode production will show the story of the Kiss nightclub fire, which in 2013 killed 242 people and injured more than 600 in a nightclub in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul.
Laila plays the delegate investigating the case, and doesn’t deny it: it wasn’t easy. “The script was already very difficult to read, and recording the scenes was even more tense. I got sick seeing so many bodies in the studios. It’s very realistic and impactful”, anticipates the actress about the work, which is scheduled to premiere in January.
I have worked in the news industry for over 10 years. I have been an author at News Bulletin 247 for the past 2 years. I mostly cover politics news. I am a highly experienced and respected journalist. I have won numerous awards for my work.
