In 2021, Solange – a Lawer at Mattos Filho – introduced a transformative Book Club at her law firm, emphasizing literature by women authors. This platform delves into discussions about feminism, motherhood, career, race, and class, fostering a safe space for shared experiences and inspiring conversations. A year later, CNN invited her for an interview, shedding light on workplace sexism and showcasing initiatives to inspire other companies to follow suit. Currently, Solange spearheads a mentoring program for women lawyers and interns, addressing the challenges faced by women in corporate environments. Beyond Mattos Filho, Solange has participated in initiatives that promote diversity, including “Leia Mulheres,” a nationwide Brazilian book club spotlighting literature by women authors to foster understanding of gender issues, and Maritime SheEO, an international community dedicated to advancing diversity and innovation within traditionally male-dominated industries.
