In this powerful episode of Unlocked Limits, Mykeya Latia interviews Menzie Boykins, a stroke survivor who is living proof of the strength of faith and resilience. Menzie opens up about the traumatic moment her stroke hit and how it changed her life overnight. From experiencing sudden blurry vision, loss of mobility, and vomiting, to surviving a life-threatening brain surgery, Menzie’s story is nothing short of miraculous.

Menzie shares the pivotal role that faith played in her recovery, quoting scriptures that carried her through dark moments. With unwavering faith and determination, she defied the odds, embracing her recovery journey and rebuilding her life from the ground up.

In this episode, Menzie emphasizes:

  • The critical signs and risks of strokes, and how awareness can save lives (remember FAST: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911).
  • The importance of living intentionally and valuing every precious moment.
  • The role of sisterhood and community in overcoming adversity.
  • How her recovery led her to write a book to inspire others, and her mission to raise awareness about stroke prevention.

Menzie’s transformation continues to inspire, as she now uses her voice to advocate for stroke survivors, caregivers, and those affected by adversity. She’s building a thriving business, sharing her story, and encouraging others to live boldly.
