Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

J'éprouve une profonde tristesse en apprenant cette nouvelle. Ancien étudiant de maitrise en santé communautaire, j'ai eu la chance de côtoyer Marie, professeure passionnée et dévouée. Ces précieux conseils m’accompagnent encore régulièrement dans ma vie professionnelle. Toutes mes sympathies à la famille et aux proches.
Je suis profondément attristée par cette nouvelle. Marie était une collègue très appréciée et une mentor. Sa perte sera ressentie par notre communauté pour des années à venir.
