Erika Santos Silva, known as Erika Hilton (born 9 December 1992), is a Brazilian politician and activist for black and LGBT rights.[1][2][3] Hilton studied teaching and gerontology before entering politics.[4]
Affiliated to the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL), in the 2020 elections, she gained national and international notice by becoming the first openly transgender councilor elected to the Municipal Chamber of São Paulo, receiving the most votes for any councilor in the country.[5][6][7][8][3]
In November 2021, she was honoured with a "Generation Change Award" at the 2021 MTV Europe Music Awards in Budapest.[9]
In 2022, she and Duda Salabert became the first two openly transgender people elected to the National Congress of Brazil, with both of them elected to its Chamber of Deputies.[10][11] Hilton was honored as one of the BBC 100 Women in December 2022.[12]
A documentary about Erika Hilton is currently in production and will soon premiere in Brazil. It promises to offer a comprehensive and detailed view of Hilton's life and trajectory, highlighting her significant contributions to various aspects of Brazilian culture and politics.[13] The documentary is expected to provide valuable insights into her personal journey, challenges, and achievements, as well as explore her impact on social and political issues in Brazil. With its imminent release, the documentary is anticipated to serve as a source of inspiration and reflection for audiences in Brazil and beyond.[14]
