Brazil of hope

It is in this real Brazil, far from the offices of Brasilia and caste privileges, that true innovation and decency flourish. While power isolates itself, ordinary people use the genius of intelligence to solve what the State ignores.

We have the example of Lennon Medeiros, at Baixada Fluminense. He did not wait for funds that never arrived or for election promises to protect his people and, using artificial intelligence and data, he created surveillance solutions to save lives in areas at risk of collapse. This is cutting-edge technology serving the edge, proving that security doesn’t need authority, it needs commitment to others.

In Maranhão, we found the strength of Karina Penha. In a country that often turns its back on its roots, she raises the voice of the babassu coconut breakers. Their fight does not stop at the environment and continues in search of the economic dignity of those who live from the land, transforming ancestral knowledge into a fair and sustainable business model, showing that the true wealth of Brazil does not lie in predatory extractivism, but in the protection of our communities.

There is also the genius of Anna Luísa Beserra, who, faced with the country’s secular thirst, decided that the solution would come from heaven. With Aqualuz, it uses sunlight (the greatest resource in our Northeast) to purify water and bring health to families forgotten by public policies. It is Brazilian science, young and feminine, which resolves with simplicity what decades of bureaucracy did not want to resolve.

Lennon, Karina and Anna Luísa are the Brazilians who have already worked. And, like them, many others are using their energy as an instrument of change for their peers and their community. They are proof that while the official “Republic” fails, the Brazilian nation resists and creates.

We are not a lethargic people, we are a group that smiles, despite adversity, always believing in a better future. We are not an algorithm that only reflects bad things, but people who stand up and roll up their sleeves, building pioneering stairs and paths for those who will come later to pass with more calm and stability.

Looking back, despite everything, we continue to move forward. So I suggest looking at the glass half full. A few years ago, all the negative information would never have come to light and everything would continue to be done in the dark. Let us interpret all these scandals as lights under which, to cleanse the dirt, we must first see.
