In my conversation today, I and my guest will be discussing sometimes very important in our society, but very rarely talked about because of discomfort; that is DISABILITY. African society has millions is members with various levels of disabilities, but it with limited inclination to understand their needs and how to enable them to thrive and contribute to society.

My guest is Oghenewaire Jennifer Nikoro; a legal practitioner and the founder of Life Beyond Disability Foundation (LBD). Jennifer let me understand her advocacy work, and how LBD works to elevate and empower people with disabilities in our communities. I encourage all to support this work in various ways.

This episode is very dear to me, please listen, share and subscribe to the Think BIG for Africa Podcast on your favorite podcast platform.
