I am a speaker and also participate in talks on topics related to scoliosis awareness and overcoming life
At the age of 11, I discovered scoliosis, a deformity that has shaped my life up to now and will continue to do so forever. I went through wearing a back brace for 23 hours a day, for almost 5 years, and yet I still had to undergo a complex surgery.
Through ups and downs, I overcame it. Then came other major challenges in my life. I overcame those too. So, I decided to share my story through speeches and talks to inspire people to keep going, to persevere, and to face problems head-on.
Come with me!

Instagram Live about scoliosis surgery with Julia Barroso and three other patients
On the night of February 22, 2024, I participated in a very interesting Instagram Live with three other scoliosis patients: Gui, Jeni, and Rosa.
It was great to see the interaction with the audience, answer questions, share experiences, tell a little bit of my story, and help those in need.
These moments are important for raising awareness about scoliosis and spreading information in society.
Let's go together in this fight, which is all of ours!
