She wrote: “On July 6, 2024, what was meant to be the best birthday of my life became one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever had. Breaking my leg in three places left me unable to walk. While I was uncertain about regaining my previous activities, I was determined to focus on what truly mattered.
“I observed the challenges faced by people with disabilities and felt compelled to make life easier for them.
This inspired me to launch FashionAble, an adaptive clothing line offering items like magnetic closures instead of buttons and zippers, pants designed for cast wearers, and shirts with integrated arm braces.
“My plans also include donating aesthetic boots, wheelchairs, and crutches to various centers and homes in Nigeria. Additionally, I aim to collaborate with hospitals and care centers to improve food options for those recently disabled or recovering.
“I believe that everyone deserves access to a decent meal, regardless of wealth. My goals extend to funding medical equipment to enhance hospital response times, support more effective surgeries, and attract skilled doctors.
