The NGO “Accepting Reality” was born from the autobiographical book, a result of a period of questioning and painful experiences that the writer went through during the pandemic, a process of self-discovery, understanding the value of life, and realizing that it is unique and irrecoverable. The book, launched in Brazil by Editora Yes Book, is written by Jessika Gonçalez, who debuts as a writer, and tells the story of overcoming, acceptance, and knowledge. Self-awareness is the starting point for any understanding.
