A powerful journey comes full circle in this deeply moving conversation with Folusho Oginni Liasu, founder of Super Parents Foundation.
What began as a chance encounter with a mother's anonymous post about struggling to afford a hearing aid for her child transformed into a mission that has touched countless lives across Nigeria.
Folusho takes us behind the curtain of special needs parenting in Africa, where cultural misconceptions and spiritual superstitions often compound the challenges families already face.
With remarkable candour, she shares how Super Parents Foundation emerged in 2018 as a safe space where parents could share their experiences without judgment – a community where denial could transform into acceptance, and guilt could give way to empowerment.
"Accept your new normal," Folusho advises parents with quiet conviction.
This simple yet profound counsel acknowledges the reality that while this journey wasn't chosen, embracing it fully opens doors to healing. Throughout our conversation, she emphasised that effective support isn't always about extraordinary resources, but rather remarkable love.
"The first therapy is love," she reminds us, a truth that resonates whether parenting typical children or those with special needs.
The foundation's work stretches beyond emotional support to challenge harmful narratives about disability. By providing factual information about various conditions while respecting cultural contexts, Super Parents helps shift conversations from blame to understanding, from shame to action. Folusho's approach combines her legal background with profound empathy, creating advocacy that addresses both practical needs and emotional well-being.
Listen as we explore the delicate balance between passionate advocacy and personal wellness, and discover how mindfulness plays a crucial role in sustainable impact work.
Whether you're parenting a child with special needs or simply seeking to understand how personal pain can transform into purpose, this conversation offers wisdom, warmth, and a powerful reminder that sometimes our greatest challenges reveal our deepest calling.
