Sentenciada para la vida: Verónica Perdomo at TEDxRioLimay

In 2009, at the peak of her career, Verónica suffered an ischemic stroke that left her on the brink of death and in a medically induced coma for 30 days. After extensive treatment, she was discharged from the hospital, but she had lost the ability to speak and write, and many of her brain functions were severely impaired. From that moment on, life presented her with incredibly difficult obstacles. But for Vero, anything is possible. Without a doubt, her participation offered us a powerful example of personal triumph. About TEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
