" "There's nothing more exciting than the thought of seeing the smiles that real change can bring to people's lives. Becoming a Millennium Fellow is a powerful step in that journey—giving me the chance to ignite that joy, amplify my impact, and be part of a movement where every action lights up the world with hope and possibility."

Millennium Fellowship Project: Empowering People With Epilepsy

This project aims to empower individuals with epilepsy and support them on their journey toward self-acceptance through an illustrative poetic diary. The illustrations serve as a source of strength and inspiration, while maintaining a seizure diary becomes an integral part of their empowerment. By encouraging users to track their sleep, seizures, and self-care routines, the diary helps reduce internalized stigma and fosters a proactive approach to managing epilepsy. Additionally, the project targets a secondary audience by addressing societal stigma, promoting awareness, and encouraging a more empathetic understanding of epilepsy.
