Bwembya's mother is a story of the journey of a woman who shows courage and resilience in the face of adversity. The story gives an insight into the challenges of living with the inevitability of the loss of a child with a rare metabolic disorder. In between the sadness there are great joys and celebration of life at every turn. Bwembya's mother did not let what happened to her define who she was, she let what happened to her refine who she became. A person who found her voice and spoke up for herself, her child and for other people.
