Disability: Born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta
34-year-old Khanyisile Ngwenya, one of the creators and associate producer of SABC 2’s TalkAbility, hails from Soweto and was raised in both Diepkloof and Meadowlands.
Ngwenya was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also known as brittle bones, and contrary to popular belief, growing up with a disability was not as easy as it might have seemed.
Her challenges were not only physical, due to the obvious multiple surgeries and broken bones, but were also emotional and mental.
And as a black teenage girl with a disability, those challenges further extended to trying to deal with accepting and loving oneself despite the fragile body she lives in.
