What it means to be a survivor advocate
Once an aspiring architect, Louie Teng recalled the biggest turning point in herlife back in 2007 when she discovered she had extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) called Tuberculosis Meningitis (MTB). Regarded as a rare form of TB, Meningeal Tuberculosis affected her brain causing her to lose her eyesight in the process of treatment. For Louie, battling TB was one of the most difficult stages in her life, and losing her vision made it even worse. This led her to experiencestages of depression, anxiety, and fear of discrimination from something that she considered to be an “old disease” which eventually progressed into a disability, resulting in double discrimination.
