Philanthropy
UNLEASHED FOUNDATION
Created on the pillars of the Dona de Si Institute, but evolved for American market servicing both men and woman from underrepresented communities.
The foundation will help develop, encourage, educate, and reinforce participant voices to enable them the tools and confidence for a prosperous life in their career of choice.
The idea is to fulfill the process of discovering, accelerating and connecting these talents to the marketplace; inspiring men and women to reach their full potential in life!
Suzana has founded the organization in Brazil and over the past six years, has raised more than $2 million in donations.
This funding has been used to accelerate the careers of over 5,000 women living in vulnerable situations in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Porto Alegre, and Salvador.
The Institute provides training for women working in the creative industry, enabling them to become producers of their own work, thus achieving financial autonomy. In addition, the Institute offers therapy and legal support to the women in its programs.
