    Giovani’s dad Gerardo is a typical Blackman from Brazil. Giovani’s mom is Mexican. Giovani has a Chemical Relaxer/Texturizer in his hair. As a child he had a kinky Afro slightly less kinky than his dad who also now has a texturizer. His brother, Jonathan has a much more Indigenous Mexican grade of hair than Giovani as does his baby brother Eder. They are all amazing futbol players which they learned from their dad who’s career was spent playing for various Mexican teams. They are fiercely loyal to Mexico and have Never Lived else where.
