The best place to be and remember I repeat all this show as again every Thursday at 10 p.m. Today let's hear about someone's story. This is a story of one lady, beautiful lady. If I may say she goes by the name Consolata Viderero also known as Consa. She is an actress and a marketer. We are here to get to know her story. And of course even as we talk about this, what is your story? And we shall hear what she went through because on Power Talk we are here to empower you to keep you motivated and inspired. As we listen to her story, what is your story? Where are you watching us from? The Ashtagas always is a Power Talk show at Ram Aguco and at Y254 channel. This is a lady who will tell us how she lost her limb. Persons living with disabilities. How has it been? Especially, you know, trying to cope up with the day-to-day challenges of the Consolata Karebsana. How are you feeling? I'm feeling fine. Thank you. I'm also good. I'm awesome. I'm feeling amazing. Thanks so much for coming. Oh, I'm humbled. Thank you so much. For somebody who is meeting you for the first time, tell us something about yourself, a bit more about what you do. Okay, I go by the name Consolata Viderero. But online they call me Consa. And I'm a sister to two sisters because I'm the first born. Yeah, so first born to cook out sub-group. Wow, yeah, that's nice. And I'm also a sister to many people out there. Yeah, and I'm an actress and also a marketer. A marketer. Wow, wow. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And I know even as you interact with people, you've managed to, you know, walk in town. Do you always find those people who just look at you and, you know, it's with a different eye? I'm looking at the perception that you get as an individual. Let me start from there. Yeah, they stay a lot. And I love it. I don't hide. I don't hide. So I love it. You can stare. When you finish, you go home. People do stare? They stare a lot. Yeah, and I love it, by the way, but I don't blame them. Because before the accident, even me, because I don't know, but right now I know. So I don't blame them. And I'm here to create disability awareness, so I won't hide it. And even as you walk in town and people stare at you, right now the feeling is different. Very different. But before it, how was it before? At first I was uncomfortable. I was like, where are they staring at me? But I came to understand we need to create more disability awareness. Because people don't know what is this. You're the one who is telling them what is this. So I told myself I won't hide anymore. Does anyone ever ask what is your story? Yeah, they ask. They do. Yeah, but I don't mind explaining. Even if I'm in town and I'm in a wheelchair, you ask, I don't mind. I just tell them and explain and then leave. Wow. Do you sometimes feel misunderstood? Me, I won't blame you. I won't let you destroy me. I already know myself and I already know my journey. So your thought or whatever you want to tell me, it wants to destroy me. I'll just understand you the way you are and then I'll leave you. Then you go your way. Yeah. Constable, let's hear your story. How did it all start? How did we get to the place where we are today? So you know the struggles of a first born, you're a first born. From the background I come, last manager push. You're the deputy parent. Thank you. I must push myself whether I like it or not. So it was just a normal day. I've opened up a business. It's like two months. You started your own business? Yeah. Now like business, old stock, they must finish so you must go and get new stocks. So that day was my day to go and get the stocks. So I went to the palace and I went to the market. Now it's my time to go home with the stocks. So I decided to call a safe border so that I can take my things home. And then tomorrow I can go to the other business. So this is the evening? Yeah, it's an evening. It's 5 to 6 p.m. 5 to 6 p.m. Now we are on our way back to home. Now unfortunately a pro box came at the wrong side. It hit us. And the driver died there and then I was left. Which driver? The pro box. The border border driver. The pro box came from the wrong side. Which side? From your left or your right? It was from my right side. From your right side? Bypass, Northern Bypass. Some of them are on the right side and some are on the left side. It's just a one road. So this side is on the left side and this side is on the right side. Some of them are on the left side and some are on the right side. So it will be on the right side. And your border border guy was here on the right side of the road? Very right. Yeah, so now the pro box came on the wrong side. It hit us. The next minute I went outside. My whole right leg was outside. My bone was on the right side of the road. Everything was outside in short. Now people are trying to fix it. I was sitting on the table and I was sitting on the bed. I said close me while I was at the hospital. Since I was in the hospital. So now we are trying to see if someone can stand and go to the hospital. Now I'm in the hospital. Some of them are in the hospital. Some of them are in the hospital. Some of them are in the accident. But I'm in good luck. Someone in the hospital. What about the pro box guy? It was a hit and run case. Hit and run? Yeah. Nobody got the number plate? No. There is no CCTV. Many people are coming to see what happened. Some of them are in the hospital. Because it's life smarts go on. So I'm in the hospital. Some of them are in the hospital. So that person and his mother. I went to the garden. I went directly to the hospital. Emergency along the northern bypass. KU referral. So I went to see my mother. My mother came. I said this is a very serious case. And I went to the hospital. This hospital has a lot of complications. So I went to the hospital. So I went there like let's say two days. I transferred. I went to another hospital. I went to another hospital. I went directly to the theater. I went to the theater. I was very busy. I was looking for a job. I was hoping. you will be fine don't worry everything will be fine so so they did not amputated at this at this level. Now let me take a few take your few steps back yeah you're on the road yeah and you're lying there yeah at what point did you just realize that I'm actually hurt because hydronolim is always is that rush yeah yeah at what point did you realize that I'm actually hurt and something has happened and my border border guy is actually not here at first when the accident happened I was like no I want to go home so first of all I can't stand my whole leg is outside I can see even I'm touching it I'm like what what's happened yeah and I'm like when you want to have a cuji side young a lot of people are not coming on my side what driver want to try to wonder will cover a bar and any bike so afterwards and I could just realize what is happening so when the situation I'm like I'm there but I'm not talking by the way I'm traumatized I was not you've not even realized what's happening happening I'm just wondering why can someone just help me yeah afterwards you came to understand what was happening so I'm looking after my health and the more I'm wasting time the more I'm bleeding so I had to first aiders coming to the rescue Kenyans we need to really change this I think we need to change this so they come take advantage of the accident still from you and maybe still from the border border driver and just go their way yeah do you think that I think that should change but they can't change it happens so many times it does yeah when I go to see Mutun now imagine they're pretending like hey are you okay okay but now when you got this let's say good Samaritan the driver yeah yeah he was alone did someone stop him he was alone and I was talking to him along the path he just came directly he said what's the problem because we are trying to look for a car he stopped the car yeah came and asked what's happening yeah took you in yeah I said I will just drop you you call whoever you're calling and then I'll leave I was like that's good because at least I'll reach at the hospital it was just calling my parents now to come yeah he did that wherever you are may god bless you I don't know if he if he can't even remember he can't remember where he can't remember how you

something first of all you know you are you are you're going to amputate your leg first me now I don't have a joint yeah so they have to amputate above the knee and initially it ought to have been below the knee yeah so I went to the theater it took like four hours to amputate the leg for Kamalizah yeah those two days why did you cut some sleep I was sleeping because size of such a baby was not feeling any pain a lot of you have a lot of medicines in your body so now after the two days now I'm waking up I'm like I want to see my remaining part now I'm not gonna get to the above the knee how do I look no I wanted to check first I love them with a badaya fungi. So you are going to get a job? Yes, I am going to get a job. I am going to go to a competition. If I go to the jungle, I am going to get a job. I am going to get a job. This is me. I don't have a joint. It's okay. I am sure it wasn't just okay. There must have been something more you are telling yourself. There must have been something that you are... That shock. Yesterday I was walking. Right now I can't walk. You don't have a prosthetic. I didn't know there were prosthetic legs. So I am like, I will be using the crutches for the rest of my life. Let me tell you something. If I am already in a situation and I can say I can't control it. Why use more energy or complain or cry? It will just remain the same way. I am just looking for ways. I am going to tell you now how to cope. I will introduce you to a physiotherapist. Who is going to lead you with exercises. How to walk with crutches so that you can continue to cope with your normal life. Hmm. So, here I am. I am going to tell you the remaining part. Now you must take time so that the remaining part can heal. I am taking lots of water. I am taking lots of fruit now. So that my body will heal. Because I still don't have blood. Ahh. You are crying bad. You are like, why me God? Me, me, why not? Yesterday I was at a temple. Yesterday I was in a hospital. You are in a hospital. I am in a hospital. No phone. Someone could call you and ask how you are doing. How I am doing. So, I am like, what can I do? I am going to go to the temple. I am going to go to the temple. At least I tell a little people. When you go to the temple and ask, what is the job? What happened? So, I am going to introduce a few. I am going to tell you what is going on. My leg has been amputated. If you want to see me, come to the hospital. Yes. I have introduced a few friends. And they came? Yes. And after they came, they said it is okay. It is life. It happens. And we are going to be your friend no matter what. Now, I am looking at you lying in that hospital bed. How long did it take for you to go through that whole journey of acceptance? From that time when you were lying in that hospital bed, when you came back, what was it like? It was when I was recovering the remaining part. It takes six weeks to recover. So, within that journey, I was accepting myself. And I love myself. And I am a strong person. Yes, you are. I am a first born. If I give up right now, and I have told you I am a sister to two sisters behind me, it is because of my nation. So, to give up was not an option for me. Yes. So, I had to take the situation that is as it has come, and deal with whatever has come. So, I had to take time to go down, to go down, to go down. I had to go down, to go down. Within two months, I was working very well with crutches. With crutches? Yes. I worked for eight months. Wow. To recover very well. Yes. And I was able to rehabilitate myself. Because I was able to come out of Cheesy. How do I spell it? Yes. So, do you know how to spell it? Yes. There are lots of hopes there. And by the way, when you are in Kenyatta Hospital, you can get a lot of inspiration because I had amputation. I was being amputated my right limb. When I am amputated, you are both legs and both hands. Wow. So, and I have also seen a lot. So, I was like, nothing like this can make me give up easily. It's just life. And it's mindset and attitude. You geared your mind towards not giving up. How you are going to respond to this situation. If you are not going to do exercises, if you are not going to push yourself, you will not be able to go to bed. So, I was saying to myself, I don't want to be bedridden. Because most of the people are bedridden. You said you will not stay in bed. Never. So, after eight months, after eight months, take a pose there. Remember, we should take that break now. As I was talking about, now life, I am trying to answer. A new journey now starting. Consulata, thank you so much for wow. The mindset, don't give up. Don't give up. Attitude, the way you respond to things, matters. Don't just take a short break and we will be back in a bit. But keep engaging with us. The hashtag is always Power Talk. Head over to our Facebook page and drop in your comments on that particular platform. Ensure that you let us know where you are watching us from. Like the page. And of course, we shall be back in a bit. This is Power Talk. Why 254? Imagine. Welcome back. Of course, this is Power Talk. Thank you so much for sticking with us. Let's talk about the story of one inspiring lady. My goodness. If you can just hear her. La Bda Sisu Enginakya Pitya. At the end of the day, it's all about the mindset. This is the story of Consulata. Her story right here on Power Talk. And of course, I can see many of us are on our Twitter platform and Facebook letting us know where they are watching us from. And of course, keep doing that. Listening to this. Because this is her story right here. Thanks so much for Consulata. And to look at Nongia, who is now eight months eight months in hospital trying to recover. People coming in to talk to you and keep a little cup of tea. Now you're out. How was it now? Actually, it was from the time when you were talking about that hospital bed and you were saying, this is the day that I'm leaving. Let's start from there. First of all, when you're in a hospital, people are like, I can do it. I can do it. Let's go. Because you've been around that environment. You're feeling like you can do it. It's not bad. When I came back my baby was at home. I had a lot of challenges. You know when you're using crutches, it's because I've been around for a long time. So that's what I'm trying to do. But I have a deal now. When you're in a hospital, there are stairs. There are stairs. There's a fish therapy in the hospital. But now you're in a hospital. You're in a hospital. You're in a hospital. I have crutches. You go to the kitchen. You go to the washroom. You go to the bedroom. Now I must adapt to that. It's another new challenge. When you're in a hospital, you must go all through that. So again, life has to continue. I'm in a hospital. I'm in a hospital. You're in a hospital? Because there was work. So what I did was out of work. I took her out of the balcony. Because she went to see T battling heat and leg, the best legs, what and what, you never walk again, I'll never. Sir, sir, sir, we are talking about prosthetics. You never knew initially that actually potential legs are there? You used to see them. See, when you see a movie, you never know if it's a cut or if it's an artificial hand. Yes. You just know it's an artificial hand, you've never seen it, you don't know how it works. You don't know if you're going to get a good one because me, I don't have a joint. I need a good joint. I'm a content creator. I do skits and I find these skits without a good leg. So, I'm a mind-lead jazzy, I'll not walk again. But let me tell you guys, when you love and accept yourself just the way you are, miracles happen from nowhere. Whoa, I'm in the clinic. I'm looking for a prosthetic leg and I'm at a price and for real I'm not capable. You just give me your number, book and appointment, I go door to door, I can come to your house, you tell me what you want or tell me your budget, I can help you anyhow I want. It's okay, we will plan. In terms of getting the money. Yeah, getting the money and helping me to get a best leg because right now, if you want a prosthetic, you have a lot of ideas. As in, everyone is coming, they're telling you, there's no one, there's no one, there's no one. You get confused. So many can say ma, they feel as if it was in Nibamba Vizuri because I know I need a good joint. I need to hike, I need to jump, I need to do this and this. You need to call all of them. This leg is not that cheap, let me tell you. So to book appointment with a doctor, let me see the remaining part, there's a certain shape they look so that it can fit into a prosthetic leg so that you can be able to walk. So at first I can say, you already have the shape, you're just lacking a prosthetic leg. I'm headed there, I'm going to ask for prices and a stuka, I want to be capable. So I can say, let me tell you something, a leg that I can advise you to take. So I can say, this one will be the best, but I don't have that cash. He offered to pay half of the amount and me, I pay half of the rest. So I can reduce the cost. Out of the goodness of his heart. Yeah. So I can say ma, he'll pay half of it and then I pay half. You'll be sitting down, you'll be doing whatever you want, you'll be dancing, you'll be doing this and this, of which I've been doing them. Look at you now. Look at me now. So first of all, you must go for measurements so that they can fit your prosthetic leg. So he found the leg? Yeah. He found the leg? Found the doctor. The doctor? Paid the half. Paid the half. The doctor was waiting for my half. Did you manage to get it? I did a fundraising. Oh my God. I ate water. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kujeni, kujeni, kujeni. And they came. They came. Yeah, they came. Because especially my church called Madritcheresa Catholic Church, wow, those people are the best. Shout out to those guys, ma'am. Barikiyosana. Kabisa. They came through very well by the way. Which year was this? It was 2021, last year. Last year? Last year. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not going to talk about this at the end, I don't know how many years back. Last year? Yeah. Wow. Now, so now this guy gets the leg and now, I don't know if I'm taking it so fast. Now you have the legs, isn't it? No. Do you pick it up from there? I don't have the leg yet. You must go and do some measurements so that they can measure exactly the remaining part so that it can fit with the other one. So it must take like two weeks to three weeks before they make the leg. So I did a fundraising as they were making the leg because they already have the half of it. So after, I'm paying the half of it now, so I did a fundraising. People came through to Kamalizah. When was this picture taken? It was a few weeks ago. These ones? Also a few weeks ago? Last month. Last month. So you have adapted. I've told you, if you love and accept yourself just the way you are, everything will just flow naturally. Wow. Yes. And already in my Indian, we don't have a leg. We know we don't. Love yourself. Love yourself just the way you are. So now how did you go now trying to get acquainted with this prosthetic? Now they have already done the measurements, now it's the time of fitting another challenge. Another challenge again? Yeah. I would assume after the measurement it will fit in automatically. Another challenge again? Wow. Their challenge is each and every day, each and every day. Now I've been giving the prosthetic leg. The remaining part has not accepted. We are going to wear a plastic thing. The body has not accepted a foreign thing. It's another challenge. The mind. Yeah. Wow. And you must control it. It doesn't control it then. If you control it, you put it down the way you're walking, you must be cautious. You must control it. So at first I was walking with crutches with the prosthetic leg. Another exercise, another exercise, another exercise until I came to drop all of them. With the prosthetic it took me six months. To learn how to use it. Yeah. But now you can dance with it. Yeah. Very well. Bring up, bring up that video, Timothy. Look at that. This is you trying to learn how to walk with it. Yeah. Been even hiking by the way, even dancing. Wow. It's a TikTok challenge, isn't it? Yeah. It was a TikTok challenge. Wow. So now you started learning how to use it. How to walk with it. How to walk with it. Yeah. So the first time I was walking for one hour only, I was walking. The next day, two hours I was walking. Right now, a whole day. Did you hit it at some point? It was cold. It was cold. It was cold, by the way. If you are insecure, you can't go anywhere alone. I just need help from someone alone inside here, but again it's mindset. Mindset, all goes back to the mindset. Because right now I can even travel a whole week without anyone. I'm just alone. And you can stay in the house, work. I do all my house chores. It's for fixing a bulb. Of which I know to go wengie. You're two per second more. Two per second more, number the last one. How far is of it? Yeah, but life continues. It's just your mindset. You can go anywhere you can't. You can come up to me and tell me what you want me to tell you. But you have to pay your vibe. I love your vibe. I love that. Thank you. It brings this belief in someone that all is possible. Yeah, it is. Even the word itself says impossible. Let's look at family and friends and now that you are out into the world and you have adopted it. How was their reaction? How was their feedback? I'm looking at how they treat you. How they respond to you. You know, those guys when you're not with those eyes. Yeah. So, you know, me and I end up saying, Hey, my friend, you'll be in an accident. Stop staring too much. I'm not going to explain to you. Me, it doesn't scare me. Staring at me when you're co-co-imagined. You are there alone. I'm not there. Try to adjust like me and move forward. Okay. Some families are very good at any time for them because they have really supported me in a way that I never thought they could. They've always been there. Friends, some ran away. You lost friends? Yeah. Some ran away. Like, no, but you can't judge them. I've told you, even before I was in an accident, someone like me was in such a situation. I judge differently because it's just happened. Because it can happen. What are they saying as they're calling? Was there like some words exchanged or something? No. Like, you know, it's not like that. So, afterwards, I came and I said, I'm going to post online because I was acting. A series called Sweet Tomorrow, you were acting with Sami Kiyoko and Akina Katoon. So, some people were asking for me. So, I said, I'm in an accident because I've not been posting for a while. So, I had to come back. So, after coming back to New Nona, they're not talking. See, you just know they ran away. Yeah. Others, they were with me till now. They're stuck. Yeah, till now. And I'm sure even as you interact with people, those who actually grew stronger together. True. And also this journey, you lose friends, you gain more good friends. And that's when you know who your true friends are. Yeah. You gain lots of good friends. Who understand you, support you. And they are always there for you, than even the previous ones. You see, like, it's like a skin shed. You just stay there. You are just here for a season. And your chapter is over. How did you feel, you know, that you're actually coming to distinguish between the true friends and the fake ones? Okay. I was in this journey of self-love and self-healing. I was concentrating on that. When you're concentrating on that, you can see the people who are with you and the people who are not with you. So, you won't force. You know, I'm in hospital. You don't expect me to call you and tell you I'm in the hospital. You just see the consulate online and post it daily. You know, something like that. So, you just, you're just feeling the blank. They're not meant to be there. They were just there for a season. They wanted something. So, it's over. So, I was online and I was posting. So, I was reading books. Hey, babes. With the emojis. But you're like, it's okay. You just open and assume. I know you. Do you bloutique? Very much. I love who the next and post something you see. What about the church? The church. The church have been there with me because I supported my prosthetic leg. Yeah. So, they have been supportive and very good. I wanted to take a few comments on Facebook and social media. Let's hear what people are saying. And, of course, tell us where you are watching us from. This is Isaac Nalyanya. And I say, good morning. I'm watching from Butere. This is inspiring. Thank you so much, Isaac. All the best in daily duties. Mr. Ram, I would like also to talk to my fellow youths if it's okay with white women. No problem, my brother. Rasa Bashir where you say at 40 Jesus Boussia. Thank you so much. Daungote beautiful and full of hopes. At least I've learned something. How you take things. By the way, having the right attitude is very, very important. I looked in from 1960 Vasha. Now that I'm going to tell them by attitude. Do something about it. What can you say about someone who has just bad attitude and it's affecting them? Work on yourself. It's just a routine. You know how you react to things. Now change them. If you use your old behaviors, you'll never change. You have to use new behaviors in order to change. You have to learn new behaviors. Yeah. Everything from every step. I had to learn something new. It must have changed even your personality. It has changed me a lot. Even the old people who knew me. Right now, imagine they'll say they don't know me. Because it has changed me a lot.

We are Facebook the same. Konsa Konsa with a K K-O-N-C-A-H Konsa K-O-N-C-A-H Remember this is her story how she has managed to do it. Now I want to talk about a few more things. But before we wrap up I don't know if there's something you'd like to maybe something we've not covered throughout this whole story. If you've not then you feel free to do so as you answer this or respond to this particular query. I'm interested in finding out about how it was now that you had a business. How was it now after all these months of recovery between the time you had the accident and the time you had you got back on your feet did the business flop what happened? It collapsed. It collapsed. Because I was the head of everything there I was controlling everything so after I took her to even a hospital when people are coming there they are asking for me when they don't find me they are not buying anything it was a hotel by the way it was a hotel business. So they are not they just want me so we had to close it and wait until the time that I'm good so that I can continue because the people you left in charge it's all about passion they are not into it so you had to pause and don't be afraid to start from scratch this round you're not starting from scratch you're starting from experience so I had to pause when I'm feeling alright I'll go and restart the business What is this that I'm seeing on the screen there? These are my contents She's a content creator ladies and gentlemen What was this? So you were acting? Yeah I was acting I'm an actress What was this all about? It's the drama that ladies do you know we are always dramatic We are angry over small small things So you went into content creation did you stop doing the business now or getting a new business or you're fully on content creation Among another business and also on content creation and these are all found online on my Instagram and also on Facebook Ladies and gentlemen go check her out these are just some of her content she's an actress so getting back on your feet you still manage to continue doing content creation Yeah I've done lots of videos since I was amputated I've done some videos Wow now let me get from you because now we are almost coming to a close of this particular discussion there are those people who lose hope and they look at where life has taken them and they feel like they contemplate suicide they feel like giving up because it's all over I'm looking at your situation if it was if it was not for let me say God and you having that right mindset and the support you had you wouldn't be where you are today but there are those people who do not have anyone to look up to some are contemplating suicide some are thinking of giving up what would be your word to such a person First of all I'll tell you you love Kwanzaa deal with accepting yourself first embracing yourself and then the less will follow only you love yourself as the way you love your neighbour everything starts with you you must come clear with your thoughts with your past your past doesn't define your future by the way it just happened now what are you going to do because it has happened find a way there is always a way in everything just come you must push yourself no one will come to push you it's up to you now push yourself and because when you love and accept yourself miracles will happen from nowhere you won't know they'll just happen from nowhere and you never know where the luck is so don't mind them let them stay because you're teaching them something if they are learning they are not learning leave them let them talk let them talk yeah life moves on life moves on as long as you love yourself you're seeing you smart nothing else matters I'm looking at you being the first born of your family your siblings I've not touched on that yet how are they doing now I know and you know the the way you now cope with each other as you miss this discussion to close of course your siblings do you know they don't help me in anything they don't tell me I do it on myself it's like it never happened but it happened I want to give you time to have a final word now as you close what is your parting shirts as you bring this whole discussion to a close if you're out there and you are in a situation like me you don't know what to do you can find me in books because a
