Portugal à Vista S05:E18 - Cândida Proença

Cândida Proença nasceu em 1972, em Paris. Reside na cidade universitária
de Coimbra, onde se licenciou em Línguas e Literaturas Modernas.
Aos vinte anos é-lhe diagnosticada Esclerose Múltipla, facto que a obriga a andar de cadeira de rodas. Docente por vocação, afirma que nasceu com duas missões: ser mãe e professora. Enfrenta um cancro desde 2018 sem perder a esperança. Luta pelos direitos dos portadores de mobilidade reduzida, elaborando roteiros turísticos acessíveis. Escreve para mitigar a dor e usa o sorriso como arma de combate.
