Bárbara Anderson, an Argentine reporter, was challenged by luck in her journalistic career. Despite having no experience as an editor, she was offered the position in Mexico, which she initially declined. However, she agreed to stay temporarily to try it out. This decision marked a crucial point in her life.
In her journey, she always felt drawn to business journalism, despite traditional norms considering it a male domain. Throughout various challenges and battles, she faced her fears and the responsibility she felt towards her son Lucca, who was born with cerebral palsy.
After publishing her book "The Two Hemispheres of Lucca," her story reached Netflix thanks to an executive interested in her work. This event allowed her to learn the truth behind her son's disability and drove her to seek solutions, leading her to India in search of innovative treatments.
Bárbara's story highlights her struggle to make visible and normalize the lives of people with disabilities, as well as her commitment as an activist. A chance meeting with a Mexican entrepreneur opened doors to an experimental treatment that would change her family's life, particularly Lucca's.
Over the years, Bárbara has faced personal and professional challenges, never imagining that her efforts would lead her to achieve so much from the distance of her home country. Her determination and courage have driven her to share her story in a book, a film, and to continue advocating for the rights of people with disabilities.
The impact of her story on society has been significant, demonstrating that personal experiences can transcend the pages of a book or the scenes of a film. Through her struggle, Bárbara has inspired many and has managed to bring a message of hope and overcoming to a wide audience.
