She is also a single mom (with a village) and a writer, activist, friend and warrior. Nayaba first tried alternative treatments, but ended up going the traditional route. Her tale is unfortunately too familiar, but she is a survivor and she has words of wisdom and encouragement for those who will follow in her path.
