“I did the 702 interview with @relebogile. I speak in front of audiences, I sang at the @rmb_cib Starlight Classics and I’m on the cover of @word_digitalmag and @balancedlifesa all while doing my best to take care of myself and do the work that it takes for me to recover.”
“Recovering from Aphasia takes time and patience. I don’t want to put myself under any sort of pressure and a few things overwhelm me but I’m getting stronger. I’ve been fascinated by my whole journey – how my mind works. It’s a privilege and a blessing to be alive to learn how to speak and read and write. The star expresses gratitude to her supporters .
“If you guys can help me practice my vernacular whenever you meet me in public 🫣- it’s still early stages but every bit of practice helps me! I’m so grateful and thankful to the messages of support and encouragement and love . I love you so much – thank you for believing in me. But all this wouldn’t happen if I didn’t believe in myself. I want to thank The Most High for giving me another chance at life.
