Summary

Rebecca Kaduru's life was forever altered by a catastrophic accident in Uganda. But after receiving shockingly insufficient medical care, her nightmare was only beginning. Rebecca endured extensive reconstructive surgeries for her physical wounds, but the emotional trauma had a profound impact on the way she views herself and her personal and professional priorities. She discusses the challenges of recovery in a social-media forward world, the human capacity for pain and empathy, and the importance of a supportive community on the journey to hard-won wisdom.

In this episode:

Inadequate medical treatment leading to multiple surgeries.
Emotional impact from realizing the limits of health education in Uganda.
The influence of KadAfrica on girls and communities in Uganda.
Setting boundaries for work and prioritizing family time.
The power of vulnerability in leadership and workplace culture.
The significance of community and personal support systems.
