Like many of us, Melanee Stovall felt overwhelmed and isolated after her daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy. Navigating the complexities of healthcare and education, Melanee chose to keep her daughter’s condition a secret, hoping to protect her from stigma. But as she learned more, she discovered her voice and began advocating for fair treatment both in the classroom and in medical care. In this inspiring episode, Melanee shares her journey from silent struggle to fierce advocacy and how it led to the creation of her nonprofit, which now connects families to vital epilepsy resources. Tune in for a dose of hope, humor, and the power of connection.
