Kanwal L. Haq is a Medical Anthropologist specialized in Women’s Health and author of "Taking Care of You: The Empowered Woman's Guide to Better Health". She talks about her Pakistani mom Zahida who has been struggling with a connective tissue disease for more than 20 years. Zahida’s stuggle inspired Kanwal to dedicate her work to women’s health. From Zahida, we learn that if you believe in something, you have everything you need inside of you to make your dreams true; that education and knowledge is something no one can take away from you; and the importance of community. But most importantly, we learn that by taking care of yourself, you take care of people you love.
