THE HASHTAG: Nancy Cosy's Journey of Resilience
Nancy Mumbua Cosmas, better known as "Nancy Cosy," appears on episode eight of THE HASHTAG podcast, captivating listeners with her humor and inspiring story.
An amputee with an artificial leg, she introduced herself with a lighthearted joke, telling the audience that just like they change their clothes after a long day, she too changes her prosthesis.
Despite acquiring her disability at a pivotal time in her life, Nancy has navigated challenges with remarkable resilience. She now works with Ottobock, a mobility company located at the Business Center on Ngong Race Course. The company specializes in mobility solutions, including wheelchairs, crutches, and prosthetics.
A Nairobi native, Nancy was born, raised, and schooled in the city. Her life changed during an internship in mid-February of 2022. While on the Chuka-Nairobi-Meru highway, a fast-moving vehicle swerving to avoid a head-on collision with a motorbike struck her, resulting in the immediate loss of her leg.
Nancy concludes her appearance on THE HASHTAG podcast with a powerful plea to the government and well-wishers who donate assistive devices. She urged them to be more considerate, emphasizing the importance of providing high-quality, up-to-standard items.
She states that giving a person with a disability a substandard device is not a solution but rather a way of adding to their problems.
