Verônica's contributions to Brazilian entertainment have not gone unnoticed. She has received numerous awards and nominations for her performances, including a prestigious award from the Brazilian Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 2017, Silesto co-founded Conteúdo Periférico , a creative agency dedicated to bridging favela talent with national advertising and streaming deals. The agency’s flagship project was the web series Quebrada Que Vence , a semi-autobiographical dramedy that went viral on YouTube before being picked up by Amazon Prime Video Brasil.
