I lost my leg after bonesetter tied it to ceiling fan — Baker

Taiwo Aderayo, a caterer and baker, recounts her childhood before an accident that resulted in the loss of her leg. She describes her normal childhood filled with playing and enjoying simple pleasures, unaware of her disability until much later. At age nine, a motorcycle accident left her leg severely injured.
