A solidão das mães especiais - seja rede, seja aldeia | Lau Patrón | TEDxUnisinos

Lau Patrón is an advertising professional, writer, and mother of João Vicente, a smiling boy with a very rare autoimmune syndrome of genetic origin called aHUS. One of the disease's crises caused a very serious stroke, and João lost control of his own body, but not his joy. For several years, Lau has run the page Avante Leãozinho (Go Little Lion), where she shares her reflections on inclusion and her process of acceptance in enlightening texts, as well as supporting other families who live similar stories. Lau has been developing more projects in this direction, dreams big, hates the word 'inclusion,' and believes only in change that comes through affection. And in a new understanding of diversity as a strength, not a weakness. 'We will build a better and more innovative world when it is built to embrace all people, as they are.' Almost launching her debut book, she calls herself a 'writer out of necessity' and constantly says 'life is wonderful.'
