How a Stroke 7 Days After Giving Birth Inspired a Life-Changing Brand


Listen Later

Seven days after giving birth, Funmi Lawal’s world changed forever. A sudden stroke left her fighting for her life and facing the possibility that she might never walk or speak again. But against all odds, she relearned how to walk, endured years of dialysis, survived a kidney transplant, and went on to create Klip Knix, an award-winning adaptive underwear brand restoring dignity and independence to women worldwide.

Funmi opens up about the personal challenges that shaped her journey, from losing both her parents within a year to the devastating loss of her beloved son in 2021. Through grief, health battles, and business setbacks, she found the strength to keep going.

In this powerful conversation, she shares how her lived experience became the spark for innovation, the moment she took on Kim Kardashian in a legal battle (and won), and why passion is the fuel that keeps you moving forward.

From ICU to QVC, this is a story of resilience and unstoppable purpose.
