About this episode
Adekunle Ogumbodede shares his journey as a legally blind individual advocating for inclusivity and accessibility for the blind community in Nigeria and beyond.
I'm Adekunle Ogumbodede, from Nigeria. I'm legally blind—diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa back in 2008—but I can still see a little, enough to keep moving forward. Through all this, I've seen how we're treated: misrepresented, stereotyped, stigmatized, pushed aside like we're invisible. In Nigeria especially, we're an afterthought—policies sit on paper, never enforced, while things feel way better overseas. That fire inside me wouldn't quit. I thought: why not change it? That's how Seeing Beyond Sight started. It's a movement—and now a global Facebook community—that creates awareness, advocates for real inclusivity, and fights for accessibility so no blind person gets left behind. I'm a degree holder, a digital content creator sharing raw, honest stuff on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok—and I offer virtual therapy just for blind folks, helping us build confidence, drop the shame, and claim our space. https://www.facebook.com/share... https://youtube.com/ @seeingbeyond_sight?si=Pf6JMtRjCLQkYckn https://www.instagram.com/seei... tiktok.com/@seeing.beyond.sig Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aaron-s-opinion--5920599/support .
