Malebogo Molefhe is a former national basketball player from Botswana who, at the age of 29, was brutally attacked and shot eight times by her former partner who subsequently committed suicide. The attack left her with a spinal cord injury, confining her to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Unsurprisingly, this experience profoundly changed Malebogo’s experience of the world. But rather than isolating herself from society and falling victim to negative thoughts, she chose to connect with other women and girls with disabilities who are often at even greater risk of domestic violence and now uses her profoundly traumatic experience to motivate, empower, and educate and inspire others.
This episode was edited and produced by the show's launch producer, Aisha Chowdhry.
