In a world like ours; having all your human senses doesn’t make life any easier for those able-bodied. What then becomes the faith of the disabled? You can guess the answer. Let’s inspire you with the 23-year-old Who Just Became UK’s First Blind & Black Barrister story.
However, in spite of all the challenges that come with being blind; a 23-year-old just nailed them to the ground by emerging as the first blind and black barrister in the United Kingdom.
Reading isn’t pleasant to all but having to read braille shouldn’t have been any easier. She commended her friends for their support and correction in achieving this great height.
You are wondering who this is. Her name is Jessikah Inaba and she qualified last week after studying for five years at the University of Law in London.
She wrote; ‘It’s been crazy – I still can’t really believe I’ve done it,’
‘One day I’ll wake up and realise how amazing this is.
‘It was hard and I often thought of giving up, but my supportive family gave me courage and strength.
‘I always believed in myself from the start – there’s nothing about me that means this isn’t possible.
‘I know I can do this job really well, and the more people like me who go through training the easier it will become.
‘It’s a really good feeling, I know I’m giving hope to others in similar situations to mine. There’s a triple-glazed glass ceiling.
‘I’m not the most common gender or colour, and I have a disability, but by pushing through I’m easing the burden on the next person like me.’
