We are so proud to share that Nabeelah has been published as a featured author on BabyYumYum — one of South Africa's most widely read parenting platforms! 🎉

The article, "Motherhood in the NICU: Between Wires, Waiting and Love," is one she wrote from personal experience — as both a speech therapist and a mother who has navigated the NICU herself.

It speaks honestly about the emotional complexity of early motherhood in a medical environment: the gratitude, the guilt, the love that shows up in the smallest moments, and the bond that forms even when it doesn't look the way you imagined.

Whether you've experienced the NICU or know someone who has, this is a read worth sharing.

💙 Supporting a loved one with aphasia after a stroke or brain injury is one of the most challenging journeys a family can face.

Aphasia affects a person's ability to speak, understand, read, or write, but it does NOT affect their intelligence. They still know what they want to say. They just need time, patience, and the right support to get there.

Here are 9 simple things you can do at home to help:

1️⃣ Give them time to respond — don't rush or finish their sentences
2️⃣ Speak plainly and simply — short sentences, key words
3️⃣ Avoid rapid questions or topic changes — one thing at a time
4️⃣ Use Yes/No questions as often as possible
5️⃣ Avoid correcting them — encourage the attempt, not perfection
6️⃣ Keep having normal conversations — it matters more than you know
7️⃣ Reduce distractions — turn off the TV, find a quiet space
8️⃣ Be honest if you don't understand — "Let's try again" goes a long way
9️⃣ Use other means of communication — gestures, drawings, AAC apps
