Kanisha
Anthony is a 28-year-old mother-of-three who has been through more
trauma than most women her age, yet she has a positive outlook on life
in spite of them.
Kanisha
was trapped in a house fire at the age of 4. Two of her brothers died
in the fire while Kanisha, her mother, and one of her brothers survived
miraculously. It’s a surprise she survived because her heart stopped
beating for about 4 minutes immediately following the fire incident.
She
lost 4 of her fingers, an ear, and all of her hair in the fire. She
also had burns on over 60% of her body, including on her stomach and she
was told she could never have children. But as God would have it, she
conceived. She was then told that the burnt skin of her tummy could not
stretch to accommodate children. She went ahead to carry the pregnancy
to term though she had to live with daily excruciating pain as her tummy
stretched.
Kanisha
had the courage to go through this pain, not once, but three times.
Now, she inspires others to look beyond their scars and learn to live
without fear of what people will think. She will soon release her new
book sharing her story with the world.
