Miss Lira Gives Recovery Updates- “Not Only Am I Speaking”

Renowned singer Lerato Moipone Molapo professionally known as Miss Lira gave updates on her recovery journey.

In 2022, the star suffered a stroke which affected her life, including her ability to speak. Fortunately, Lira has been recuperating well over time.

Since her diagnosis, she has regained her ability to speak well, read, write, and even sing. Taking to social media she shared how life has been for her living with stroke.

“I’m so proud of myself. It’s been a year and 6 months since I had the stroke. The German doctors told me it would take this long for me to speak – not only am I speaking, but I’m reading and writing.

Lira further reflected on the various encounters she’s had over the past months.

“I did the 702 interview with @relebogile. I speak in front of audiences, I sang at the @rmb_cib Starlight Classics and I’m on the cover of @word_digitalmag and @balancedlifesa all while doing my best to take care of myself and do the work that it takes for me to recover.”

“Recovering from Aphasia takes time and patience. I don’t want to put myself under any sort of pressure and a few things overwhelm me but I’m getting stronger. I’ve been fascinated by my whole journey – how my mind works. It’s a privilege and a blessing to be alive to learn how to speak and read and write.”

“If you guys can help me practice my vernacular whenever you meet me in public – it’s still early stages but every bit of practice helps me! I’m so grateful and thankful to the messages of support and encouragement and love. I love you so much – thank you for believing in me. But all this wouldn’t happen if I didn’t believe in myself. I want to thank The Most High for giving me another chance at life.”
