My Story
Epilepsy is not a curse
A personal story at the heart of Seize the Moment Now.
Seize The Moment is a calling that was birthed based on my real-life experience. After several unprovoked seizures as a teenager, I was diagnosed with Epilepsy. This was one of the hardest news for my family and me, bearing in mind there was no history of Epilepsy in my family.
I was at the prime of my life, the first girl in our small village to join a National School and I was no longer termed as the smartest girl but was labelled “The girl with epileptic fits”.
I faced a lot of stigma and marginalization both as a teenager and adult leading me to depression which I later overcame through an effective support system of my family and friends.
Stigma is real and my interaction with Person/s With Epilepsy is so tangible and there is a need for a voice to speak out against it.
A new chapter
Epilepsy is not a curse rather, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in your life, revealing the resilience within you, like a flower blooming in adversity.
You have a lot to offer and society should provide the space to do so based on Merit.
Every moment is precious and should be seized by clicking the link below and joining the movement as we work towards ending the stigma about Epilepsy.
