Meet okeke Chukwemeka Emmanuel

Through his work, he continues to support and educate students with visual impairments, turning his own experience into an opportunity to help others grow.

This is Beyond Disability — seeing the person, the purpose and the possibilities beyond the disability.

Beyond Disability Wednesday 🌟

She had a dream. She had a goal. And she refused to let albinism stand between her and the future she imagined.

Meet Koforola Komolafe, a young woman living with albinism who pursued her dream of becoming a journalist despite the challenges she faced along the way.

Her story reminds us that a person’s skin condition does not define their intelligence, talent or potential.

The dream is still valid. The future is still possible.

Watch today’s Beyond Disability feature and be inspired by Koforola’s journey.

What dream are you refusing to give up on?

SEPTEMBER IS SPINAL CORD INJURY AWARENESS MONTH

Imagine waking up one day and realizing that the life you knew has changed.

The things you once did without thinking — standing, walking, getting out of bed, moving around freely — may suddenly require assistance, therapy, equipment, patience and time.

But here is what we often forget:

A spinal cord injury can change how a person moves. It does not erase who they are.

Behind every spinal cord injury is a person with dreams, talents, relationships, ambitions and a life that deserves to continue with dignity.

This month, let’s look beyond the injury.

Let’s talk about accessible healthcare. Let’s talk about rehabilitation. Let’s talk about assistive technology. Let’s talk about accessible buildings, transport and workplaces. And most importantly, let’s listen to people living with spinal cord injuries about what they actually need.

Because surviving an injury should not mean being left behind afterwards.

This September, don't just be aware. Be willing to understand. Be willing to include. Be willing to make room.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone living with a spinal cord injury about their experience?

Tell us what awareness means to you.

“POLITICAL INCLUSION SHOULD NOT END WHEN THE ELECTIONS END.”

According to Ayoade Alase, Chairman of the Abuja Association of the Deaf, political inclusion should extend beyond election periods.

Persons with disabilities should not only be remembered when their votes are needed. They should be recognized as equal citizens and included in the decisions that affect their lives.

From policies and public services to leadership and community development, people with disabilities deserve a seat at the table — not just a place in the audience.

Inclusion means having a voice in the decisions that shape your future.

Do you agree?

What more can governments and political leaders do to ensure persons with disabilities are meaningfully included beyond election periods?
