Year 9 student Evie has created her very own podcast, 'Talking in the Dark' to raise awareness about blindness, visual impairment and disability in general, in a happy and light-hearted way.
Evie was born with a condition called bilateral anopthalmia, meaning her eyes didn’t develop, and as a result Evie now wears prosthetics.
Through the podcast Evie aims to get rid of the stigma and stereotypes around disabilities whilst having fun conversations at the same time! During the interviews Evie will talk to people from all walks of life, including, at times, people with physical conditions like hers, getting to know all about them and the lives that they lead.
In the below episode, Evie talks to Krish from the MSPCA about the important work this wonderful organisation does looking after and protecting the vulnerable animals of the Isle of Man:
Well done Evie on creating such an interesting and insightful podcast!
