Year 9 student Evie 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.
One of Evie's most favourite past-times is horse riding, so in this next episode Evie talks with Kat from Riding For The Disabled, about the wonderful opportunities they provide for young people with additional needs.
A lovely chat with a truly inspiring guest from an incredible organisation. Thank you to Kat from RDA for coming in to see us, it was a joy to have you with us!
