Brazilian Ana Carolina Cáceres, 24, was born with microcephaly. She graduated from university and is now a journalist, giving a voice to other people like her, whom she says do not feel represented. She told the Âé¶¹Éç: "When I was born, the doctor told my parents: 'She will not walk, she will not talk and, over time, she will enter into a vegetative state until she dies.' He was wrong." Picture shows Ana Carolina Cáceres at her graduation. (Credit: Ana Carolina Cáceres)
