The Curse of Stigma
Lives are forever changed when African men
and women experience seizures. Demonized
and ostracized, those living with epilepsy are
forced to live in the shadows because of a
suffocated stigma. A lack of awareness and
education causes many to see the
neurological condition of epilepsy as a curse
from demons and witchcraft.
The Curse of Stigma follows the life story of 4
Kenyans living with epilepsy. These brave characters share their
stories of oppression and assault to break the curse of stigma that
surrounds their condition.
There is hope in sharing our stories. There is hope for the 10 million
living with epilepsy in sub-saharan Africa through storytelling.
