Érica Malunguinho's win is a bright spot in Brazil's controversial elections.

Malunhuinho, is one of more than 50 transgender candidates ran for office in Monday's election, according to NBC. The community organizer is also one of "The Seeds of Marielle"—the 231 black women who ran for public office, following in the footsteps of the late Afro-Brazilian activist Marielle Franco.

In an interview with Afropunk, the 36-year-old activist spoke about her dedication to keeping Franco's mission alive. "I cried a lot when I heard about Marielle's murder," she said. "Her political project was just wiped out. It was a message to us that we should not be there fighting over our bodies and resisting genocide and racism. I had so much hate in me. At the same time, I knew I needed to take this hate and do something positive with it."

With her new post Malunguinho, a member of the Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL) will continue to advocate for Brazil's LGBTQ community, which will be under increased threat if far-right presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro— dubbed "Brazil's Trump"—is elected.

one year without marielle, one year without anwers.
