by Linda Chebet Kirui

Linda’s world is turned upside down on the night of her graduation when she’s suddenly struck by a devastating stroke—an event that baffles doctors, scientists, and experts alike. A former model and a recent graduate with a teaching degree, Linda now faces an unexpected crossroads: overcome her depression and learn to navigate life in ways she never anticipated. Embracing her new identity as a person living with a disability, she chooses to accept her reality, drawing strength from the support of family and friends. In her journey to reclaim her place, Linda becomes a source of inspiration for others with disabilities, encouraging them to rise above stereotypes and pursue their dreams.

Linda Chebet Kirui is an educator with a degree in Education, specializing in English Literature from Moi University, and a master’s degree in psychology from Mount Kenya University. As a person living with disabilities and the titleholder of Miss Peace Trans Nzoia County, Linda is deeply committed to promoting mental health, with a focus on the impact of childhood traumas on personality development. She works tirelessly to uplift others facing similar challenges, particularly individuals with disabilities, and is dedicated to fostering a more inclusive society.
