By Viver Brasil

‘“Peace Transcends” pays homage to Nancy de Souza e Silva aka Dona Cici, wise elder of the Candomblé and Afro-Brazilian culture. Viver Brasil honors Dona Cici’s long life as a peacemaker, bringing balance, love, spirit to all. “Peace Transcends” was inspired first by the deaths of Bahian Black youth, and celebrates the ultimate triumph of safety and peace over pain and chaos in Brazil, the U.S. and all over the world.’ -Viver Brasil
