Safiyya Vorajee: The Strength of a Mother and the Legacy of a Little Girl
Lauren sits down for her first episode with the incredible Safiyya Vorajee to discuss the life and impact of her little girl Azaylia and how she built her resilience from the strength of motherhood.
8 weeks after giving birth to her beautiful baby girl Azaylia, Safiyya’s life changed forever after she received the news that no parent wants to hear that their child has a rare form of leukaemia and requires life saving treatment.
Despite this devastating diagnosis Safiyya quickly found the strength as a mother to help her baby fight this disease but also share her story on social media to help others who were fighting too. The strength of Azaylia and Safiyya touched the lives of millions so much so that they managed to break fundraising records to fund treatment for life saving treatment for the little girl. Despite Azaylia no longer being here on earth Safiyya continues the legacy of her little girl by founding the Azaylia Foundation where she helps fund life saving treatment and research into childhood cancer.
The impact and resilience of Safiyya is beyond belief and Lauren shares this emotional episode to show how we all can be powered by purpose and find the courage to help others in our darkest times.
