Tiago, advogado, dono, & anfitrio





Tiago has been a gracious host to me while I've been in Brazil. He is a lawyer and an asset to his family's business. I thought I'd post a few pictures of him in action.
Right now, Tiago is working on a civil case against the Jau police, who just this weekend waited dormantly across the street while watching a young black man get beat by a crowd of white guys. Some of the assaulters are being criminally investigated. I don't know all the details of the case, but that's the jist of it. I guess racism and special treatment are problems in Brazil just like everywhere else.
