In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham speaks with Siobhan Meade, a digital marketing professional, journalist, and disability activist from the United Kingdom.
After losing her vision at the age of sixteen to Glaucoma, Siobhan found it challenging to go about her life until she heard a blind man share his achievements over a radio programme. With the newfound confidence and support from her family, friends, and teachers, Siobhan has come a long way in making a mark in the disability domain. In her early years, she particularly chose radio and media as her profession to spread awareness of life with blindness. Besides writing for a local newspaper, Siobhan started a YouTube channel where she talks about her experiences as a blind person and encourages people to ask questions to educate them about her disability. A passionate advocate for inclusion and equality, Siobhan has started the 'Respect campaign' after being subjected to violence and abuse in the public for being blind that left her traumatized. She now visits various schools and colleges to raise awareness about her campaign and blindness.
