CADASIL Awareness Day.
In the most recent Savvy Safety Sisters PARTNERS IN PREVENTION podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Angelique, a 25-year-old Project Coordinator from Pretoria, South Africa. Angelique shared her journey of living with CADASIL, a rare genetic stroke disorder that she and her two sisters were diagnosed with following their father’s diagnosis. Despite CADASIL's challenges, Angelique has achieved significant milestones, including graduating with distinction in Psychology and earning a teaching certification. Our conversation shed light on the impact of CADASIL on her daily life and future plans, the misconceptions surrounding the disease, and the invaluable support from loved ones and the medical community. Angelique's resilience, passion for the arts, and dedication to raising awareness about CADASIL were truly inspiring. We emphasize the importance of empathy and supportive care for those affected by CADASIL. Please share this podcast with friends and families. CADASIL is sometimes misdiagnosed with MS, ALS, and other diseases.
