‘Own It!’ Episode 15: Irene Fischer

Loading player...
Tonight on Own It! We catch up with former OFM presenter, Irene Fischer, who was left hemiplegic after a horrific car crash, again.

In 2009 Irene Fischer's life changed abruptly when she sustained a severe brain injury in a horrific car accident.

After years of rehab and finally being able to talk and walk again, Irene realized that something needs to be done to chip away at the immense lack of awareness among the general public regarding brain injury.

Today she’s an award winning author and a motivational speaker who strives to cultivate understanding about brain injury in each person she meets.

Visit Irene’s website if you would like to book her for a motivational talk or if you would like to learn more about more brain injury: www.irenefischer.co.za
