Rachael Leahcar talks about her disability and how you can turn your weakness into a strength

Saturday 3 December was International Day of People with Disability.
To celebrate, singer/songwriter Rachael Leahcar recorded this message of encouragement for Open Access Students.
Rachael is legally blind and currently has around 5% of vision, which deteriorates over time.
As you’ll see in the video she doesn’t let it stop her! She has performed her music all around the world and is also very passionate about helping people with a disability overcome challenges and turn weakness into a strength.
Take it away Rachael!

    What a lovely person you are Rachael. Obviously, you would be "color blind" as well so you don't have to deal with all the prejudice we have to deal with in this world. Such great ambassador for disabled people.

    Old fart here...If I were 50 years younger, I'd go to Australia to give it a go. Added bonus: Perhaps a blind woman wouldn't mind tooooo much about me being ugly. But seriously, you are indeed a real inspiration to many, many people across the world, and I sincerely wish you the very best out of life, and may your life be long, productive, and filled with joy. Thank you...
