Life & Limb - A monthly podcast about Living Well with Limb Loss


Balancing Amputee Life with Gratitude and Joy – Roz Hakim

In so many ways, Rouzalin “Roz” Hakim was transformed in ways she could never have imagined with the loss of her left leg above the knee four years ago. Today, she’s a force in the amputee community, especially when it comes to peer support. But not just that. She’s also a respected author, public speaker and advocate for the amputee community. And what makes her so unique is her complete honesty and transparency about her difficult journey after her motorcycle accident. She celebrates her victories big and small, and finds a lot of pride and joy in her accomplishments. At the same time, she’s true to the person she was before her amputation. Roz still approaches life with zest, living a mile a minute sometimes.
