Over the years, I have authored various books and manuals that center on the voices, rights, and lived experiences of persons with disabilities. Each publication reflects my commitment to creating accessible, inclusive, and empowering resources—guiding someone through breast cancer self-examination, advocating for menstrual hygiene, or amplifying self-advocacy and career possibilities.

These works span critical areas such as disability rights, gender, health, inclusion, and self-care, with a strong focus on intersectionality. Several of them have been translated into regional languages to ensure broader reach and impact. From biographies to anthologies, career handbooks to rights-based manuals, each book is a testament to the power of knowledge, dignity, and representation.

Women with all kinds of disabilities must be taught the Self Examination techniques. If they are unable to do it their care providers should be trained in it.
