How I Became A person With A disability♿️
📌I was born like any other normal child but at the age of 2 years when i was taken for immunization the doctor used an expired vaccine and he injected it into me.
📌I started feeling pain and i couldn’t walk my left leg became stagnant with growth as my right leg was growing normally, we went to Mulago Hospital for 6months plus as the doctors were trying to balance the two legs 🦵
📌But it was all in vein, we went back home but i had started crawling that’s when my daddy introduced me to using a stick to walk because i had to go school.
📌I went to Nursery,Primary,Secondary,Institute and University on my stick my daddy introduced me too till now.
📌After university Covid-19 came and since the mode of the day was about hygiene that is when i learnt how to make Liquid Soap along the way i got some challenges and thought about looking for a job in IT because that is the cause i did at campus(digital marketing) Mr @deejahn was/is mentoring in digital.
📌I applied somewhere and everything went on well but when the Human Resource got to know she was going to employ a person with a disability everything ended there, I was disappointed and asked myself why did i go to school even,
📌By then madam @fsnakazibwe was my customer i shared with her and she advised me to better stick to my business and glow it because the employment world think persons with disabilities can’t execute to the level of their companies.
📌From my conversation with her i started thinking about my fellow youth with disabilities who need helpers full time if they can’t employ me who can juggle around with out a help,for-example (those with visual impairment,hearing and some who use wheelchairs)
📌That is when i started thinking about young boys and girls with disabilities who are at the university who think that after campus we will get jobs if the employment space still has this negative attitude towards persons with disabilities.
📌I started sharing my empowerment skills with my fellow persons with disabilities and the community that believes in us and am proud that now am the Executive Director of a youth and disability led organization known as @TwezuuleF
