Mary Njambi Koikai was born in 1986 in Nairobi , Kenya , and was a radio host and reggae DJ.
She was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 13 but it took 17 years to know what she was suffering from and get a proper diagnosis for the condition.
She battled her condition with fortitude, while publicly raising awareness of the disease.
In 2015 , her lung collapsed from a rare manifestation of the condition, a rare form of it that can cause life-threatening complications.
Endometriosis affects about 10% ( 190 million ) of women and girls of reproductive age globally.
There is no known cure, so treatment is usually just controlling the symptoms.
Ms Koikai chronicled her experience, which made many people engage and identify with the condition.
She died two weeks later in a Nairobi hospital from complications linked to condition.
