"Ao lado da casa de Joana e Bella funciona a loja de ervas que as duas administram. Além de dar troco -algo que aprendeu aos seis anos-, Joana sabe organizar as plantas, identificar cada uma e explicar suas finalidades. Bella transmite todo o seu saber à filha: além de profunda conhecedora dos poderes medicinais das plantas, é ativista feminista e camponesa. Chegou à Terra do Pé Vermelho pouco depois da fundação da cidade e participa ativamente da construção de um território que se organiza junto ao povo.
A fachada da loja exibe plantas que Bella e Joana pintaram, mas Joana vive desenhando com os amigos em sua própria parede e nas paredes dos vizinhos." - Rose Afefé
["Next to Joana and Bella's house is the herb shop that they both run. In addition to giving change -something she learned at the age of six- Joana knows how to organize the plants, identify each one, and explain their uses. Bella passes on all her knowledge to her daughter: in addition to being deeply knowledgeable about the medicinal powers of plants, she is a feminist activist and peasant. She arrived in Terra do Pé Vermelho shortly after the city was founded and actively participates in the construction of a territory that is organized together with the people.
The storefront displays plants that Bella and Joana have painted, but Joana is always drawing with her friends on her own wall and on her neighbors' walls." - Rose Afefé]
