The article presents a commented interview that guides the journey throughout the work of Anahí Guedes de Mello, a Brazilian anthropologist and researcher of the Center for Disability Studies (NED) at the at Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil) and the Bioethics Institute "Anis". It points out that as a researcher, activist, anthropologist, feminist, deaf, lesbian, and a benchmark for Critical Disability Studies in Latin America, her main contributions point to the need of recognizing ableism as an intersectional category that frequently generates violence against people with disabilities.
