Today we are stronger, but we decided to go ahead this time.”He said.

Natura also spoke out against the attacks on the singer. “Diversity has been part of our beliefs for over twenty years, and is always present in our advertising campaigns and sponsored projects. This year’s Mother’s Day campaign promotes discussion about the importance of touch and affection in early childhood, extending an invitation to mothers for these moments of love and care for their children. We believe that Pepita and all the other mothers involved in the campaign pass on the trust and love essential in the relationship with their childrenReproduced by note.
