"I grew up with two very different references, but I never felt that Portuguese identity nullified Venezuelan identity or vice-versa"

Chanttal Mendez, a young Luso-Venezuelan born and raised in Caracas until the age of 10, moved with her family to Aveiro, Portugal, motivated by her maternal grandmother's Portuguese roots. In an interview with Agência Incomparáveis, she shares memories of her happy childhood in Venezuela, the process of adapting to Portugal, and the construction of a dual identity that she never felt was contradictory. Currently studying International Relations at Universidade Lusíada do Porto, Chanttal combines the preservation of Venezuelan customs in her daily life – such as food, music, and language – with Portuguese habits, describing it as a "very beautiful mixture" between both cultures. Her journey in beauty pageants includes titles such as Miss Teen Aveiro 2023 and, more recently, Miss Aura Portugal, which she intends to use as a platform for social projects and one day to represent Portugal in an international competition.
