80 - A Conversation with Lupus Warrior, Nurjawaan Rawoot

Loading player...
In this episode, during Lupus Awareness month, I chat with Nurjawaan Rawoot from Cape Town, in South Africa. Nurjawaan was diagnosed with Lupus when she was years old, and it resulted in her blindness.

Nurjawaan and I also discuss how she, as a blind youth, found herself a job, and her work as a volunteer leader of the South African Blind Youth Organisation (SABYO).
