2. Bitesize Bio:
Not born with a disability, Award-winning Kenyan singer/songwriter Crystal Asige found solace, courage and a powerful purpose through her music. “When I lost control and everything around me started to disappear, my voice remained. Glaucoma made me understand my ability to, and the importance of, standing alone. I think I was given this Mountain so that I can show others it can be moved.”
Also a diversity, equity and inclusion consultant, disability rights champion, accessibility auditor and public speaker, Crystal seeks to create awareness around the inter-sectionalities of being a young, black-African woman and entrepreneur with an invisible disability living in the global South.
The models she sets up to disrupt negative perceptions using what she calls ‘art-ivism’ and ‘edu-tainment’, she hopes will have exponential impacts in society at large on the perceptions and treatment of people with disabilities.
She is a University of the West of England Bristol graduate, BBC trained Media professional, Amnesty International Kenya board member, YouTuber and creative business owner - who just happens to be blind!
