On the day I was mutilated, I was woken up at three in the morning and taken outside, naked, because the villagers believed that if I felt the morning breeze on my body it would cool me and I would bleed less. I saw that the object they would cut me with was not sharp. I was not
offered any anaesthesia, but I was told not to cry – your father is in the house, they said, and he should never hear you cry.
I was determined to show I was not a coward, so I tried very hard not to show any emotion. As a result, I was cut deeper and I could not stop bleeding. I

Greatly inspiring and highly encouraging that the amazingly gifted scientist Dr Kizzmekia Corbett is leading the way in the fight to find a vaccine for #COVID19. They commenced clinical trials a couple of hours ago. Godspeed @KizzyPhD #Girlsinscience
The story of Dr.Kizzmekia Corbett a leading black female scientist, working to get the #CoronaVirus vaccine,must be told. We must never allow patriarchy&racism to overlook her contribution once this crisis is over @Essence @wkamaubell @EBONYMag @dailynation @aphrc @CKyobutungi
Many black women have been at the forefront of innovation bringing healing to the world; making it a better place; but patriarchy,racism,tribalism & other "isms" have ensured that they never receive the recognition due to them. That is why we must tell the story of Dr @KizzyPhD
