Eddie Ndopu performs his memoir, bringing his story to life with his thoughtful narration. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss how Ndopu tells his story of growing up, and his thrilling acceptance with a full scholarship at Oxford University. But when he tries discussing his needs as someone with spinal muscular atrophy, the university informs him their scholarship won’t cover his caregiver’s salary. Ndopu’s narration captures his intense discouragement and despair, but listeners will also hear the steel enter his voice as he pushes back, insists on his rights as a disabled person in university and beyond, and advocates for equitable accommodations.
