She has released several books.

She was a columnist for the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper for 12 years until she was fired in 2013[1] a few months after generating controversy by declaring in her column that New York was no longer funny when "even the porter" could travel[2] and that domestic servants were better off without the rights proposed by the "Domestic PEC".[3][4]
