About the Guest

Morena Fornaciari is a young stroke survivor from Brazil. As an architect and also a Makeup Artist, she has always loved anything that would allow her to express herself and impact others in a positive way. As a young woman that was pretty active – hitting the gym and dance classes all week – the stroke in 2018 could have been a terrible disaster on the way – but turned out to be the light she needed to find her true path. Through recovery she created “De Repente AVC”, a diary of her rehabilitation that now became a project to help survivors. On social media, she shares her own experience hoping to encourage others by showing its possible to restart beautifully after life forced you to press the reset button.
