Dear Listeners, We're excited to share our latest episode of Eyeway Conversations with George Abraham, featuring an inspiring conversation with Nzano Shitio , a young writer and musician from Kohima, Nagaland, who is currently interning at Enable India in Bangalore. Nzano, whose name means "lovely" in her native language, opens up about her inspiring journey as a woman with visual impairment.
She shares her early struggles growing up in Nagaland, where limited accessibility and delayed education posed significant hurdles. Nzano also bravely talks about her long battle with depression, which spanned nearly a decade. Despite facing rejection from music institutions and the weight of societal prejudice, she found solace and strength in her creative pursuits. A turning point came through the guidance of a compassionate mentor, which helped her rediscover her voice and purpose. Today, Nzano channels her experiences into music and writing, using them as powerful tools of self-expression and resilience. Learn about: • How Nzano discovered music at age nine and taught herself to play guitar • The inclusive school environment that supported her despite limited resources • Her struggle with accepting her disability due to societal attitudes • The transformative mentorship that helped her overcome suicidal thoughts • Her current work with the Manomaya project focusing on mental health for persons with disabilities • Her creative aspirations including songwriting and upcoming music release This inspiring conversation highlights the importance of resilience, mentorship, and following one's passion even in the face of significant obstacles.
