My disability my ability



I was born in a polygamy family of 18 children, I became disabled at the age of 3, according to the African culture it was a curse for the family, my mother was asked to abandoned around a river so I will go because I am a spirit, because of mother love to her child, she decided to take good care of me but never the less I suffered in the hand of my step brother who started abusing on me from the age of 8-16 ,  it stopped because he was taking to prison I can tell why. Today I am so happy to speak out due to my level of education and leadership experience , I founder Cameroon Network of women with disabilities, I am so proud of myself despite my disability,
