 “Focal Epilepsy: Understanding the Quiet Seizures”
Podcast: Dominating Diversity with Brooke Tahir 

In this powerful solo episode, Brooke Tahir dives into the lesser-known world of Focal Epilepsy — a complex, often invisible neurological condition that challenges common assumptions about what epilepsy “looks like.” 

With compassion, clarity, and lived insight, Brooke breaks down what focal seizures are, how they manifest, and why they’re so frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. 

You’ll learn: 

• The signs and warning symptoms of focal seizures (they’re not always convulsive!)
• How Focal Epilepsy impacts everyday life — from memory and mood to safety and stigma
• What to look out for and how to respond supportively in your classroom, workplace, or community
• Why inclusion needs to go beyond awareness — and what true accessibility for people with epilepsy really means

Whether you're an educator, employer, advocate, or someone living with epilepsy, this episode is a must-listen for building a more informed, safer, and empathetic world.
 
🧠💜 Let’s break the silence around quiet seizures — because visibility starts with understanding.
