Betty Irabor, a well-known Nigerian publisher and the creator of Genevieve magazine, talked candidly about her health issues in 2015.
The businesswoman reflected on her period of illness on Wednesday by sharing a throwback photo from 2015 and a more recent one taken in the same garden on Instagram.
She described the ailment as one that “no one spoke about,” but she did not reveal its specifics.
“A new season doesn’t erase the past – but it does redeem it. This July, I posed for a picture in my sister’s garden before heading off to the Access Bank Polo UK on the invitation of @yemiedundf my London series host,” she wrote.
‘Suddenly, it hit me: 10 years earlier, l’d posed in that same spot. The narrative was different then.
“In 2015, I was battling a health condition no one spoke about, silently wondering if that wilderness season would ever end.
“I had just returned from a health retreat in the UK and New York Fashion Week courtesy Genevieve Magazine and our Sponsor, Virgin Atlantic – people said, “go out, it’ ll make you feel better but healing doesn’t work that way.
“Fast forward July 2025 same garden, different woman. Stronger. Freer. Whole. Restored.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
