Episode 23

Youssef Dib is a pro boxer who comes from a family of boxing champions. But Youssef’s son, Jibreel, is possibly the toughest in the family. When Jibreel was only 8 months old he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy – a disorder that affects a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. This week, Youssef shares his journey from being told that Jibreel would not live long, to being in denial of his son’s diagnosis, to helping him be the fighter he was born to be.
