Her detailed explanations transcend medical jargon, offering a grasp of the disorder's profound effects, both physically and emotionally.

It challenges us to break down the walls of ignorance and prejudice that have confined individuals with Epilepsy for far too long. White's words are a beacon of hope, igniting a movement towards inclusivity, understanding, and respect.
