Mestre Paulinho’s presence, wisdom, and dedication has shaped all of us at GCBSF. His teachings, his spirit, and his love for Capoeira live on through all of us: in our movements, our rhythms, and the friendships and connections that he planted for us all over the world. His energy will always be felt in our rodas, our music, and the way we carry ourselves in Capoeira and in life.
A presença, a sabedoria e a dedicação do Mestre Paulinho moldaram todos nós da GCBSF. Seus ensinamentos, seu espírito e seu amor pela Capoeira continuam vivos em todos nós — em nossos movimentos, nossos ritmos, nossas amizades e nas conexões que ele plantou para nós em todo o mundo. Sua energia sempre será sentida em nossas rodas, nossa música e na maneira como nos portamos na Capoeira e na vida. Obrigado Mestre

Dear Mr. Biden,
I am an Emergency Medicine physician. In almost two decades of doing this job, I’ve thrown my back out a few times while pulling on dislocated hips to help get elderly patients out of excruciating pain; I’ve knelt on the floor examining infected ulcers on the feet of unhoused people while breathing through my mouth to keep myself from vomiting; and I’ve stayed late after many shifts to make sure patients I’ve newly diagnosed with cancer have all of their questions answered.
Also: I’m no saint, I’ve made a ton of mistakes in my life, and I’ve been blessed with a lot of privilege, too.
However, I do believe I know what it feels like to make sacrifices and put my own needs, desires, and ego aside to see the principles I believe in prevail.
And I thank you for having the humility to do that today. You were the guy we needed in 2020, but not the guy we need in 2024.
It’s been an honor to have you serve as my president.
Sincerely,
Brian Lin, MD
