As a consequence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a degenerative disease of the neuromuscular system, Leide lost all body movement except for that of her eyeballs.
Completely paralyzed, unable to talk, fed through a gastrostomy tube and breathing with the aid of an artificial lung, the use of the Visual Chart was found to be the only way in which she could communicate with others.
Adapting her possibilities of expression to the use of this form of communication, Leide began to produce moving poems and discovered a singular and pioneering means of participating, practicing her citizenship, of contributing to society and social inclusion through her work.
Building her poems letter by letter, she has already written three book: Letras da Minha Emoção (Letters of My Emotion), Poesias Para Me Sentir Viva (Poems That Help Me Feel Alive) and Não Espere De Mim Apenas Poesias (Don't Expect Just Poetry From Me). Her work has caused a considerable amount of social repercussion, with awards, newsreels, magazine and newspaper articles and tributes as well as many of her poems being set to music by composers such as Nuno Mindelis, Elder Costa and Rafael Toledo.
Leide is a lawyer, mother of three, grandmother with two grandchildren who loves and holds dear her quality of life.visualizza meno
