TTAG is proud to welcome Aliza Visagie as its newest Ambassador, combining professional expertise in marketing and brand strategy with a deeply personal connection to Tourette syndrome (TS).
Based in South Africa, her advocacy journey began with her son’s diagnosis, which transformed uncertainty into purpose. Inspired by his words – “It’s part of me… not all of me” – Aliza is committed to raising awareness, shifting perceptions, and promoting acceptance of TS and related conditions.
She is particularly passionate about improving early recognition and strengthening support for families and educators. As a TTAG Ambassador, Alizia aims to help build a more informed and inclusive environment where people with TS are understood, respected, and supported without stigma.
“Tourette Syndrome is real. It’s misunderstood. Let’s change that.”
We are pleased to have Aliza Visagie join our global network and look forward to working together to advance awareness and informed support in South Africa.
