On the cover of Genevieve Magazine this October is Abiola Segun Williams who plays Titi K, Shalewa’s mum in “Tinsel”.
She opens up for the first time on her
battle with Scleroderma an auto- immune rheumatic disease that affects
the skin and some organs of the body.
Talking about her experience, she said
“At the early stage, I didn’t know what the problem was. I was my own
doctor, I read everything on the Internet that seemed to relate with my
symptoms. I noticed my teeth had problems, my limbs became heavy to
move, my feet, hands, and face were swollen. I went very dark and my
skin began to harden, itch and became very scaly. I was in pain
twenty-four seven”’.
Talking about how she dealt with the
many physical changes, she says ‘I basically stopped looking in the
mirror. I told myself this was only a phase I was passing through. My
face had changed completely. My skin looked absolutely scary. I was as
skinny as a rake but my focus was my health rather than how I looked. I
was in too much pain now to care about my looks.”
