Popular music producer Cobhams Asuquo has come out to say that he works 5 times harder than others because he is blind. He recently had his say while speaking during a heartfelt interview with Hip TV, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, determination and resilience have been key factors in his success story, and he has never shied away from his visual impairment.
The beatmaker added that he actually prefers to be described as blind, rather than visually impaired, because he embraced his reality a long time ago.
His words, “I’m not visually impaired. I’m completely blind — I can’t see a thing. And that’s totally alright. I’ve made peace with it, even found humour in it sometimes. It’s who I am, and I embrace it.
My awareness of myself as a blind person makes me work five times as hard as others, There’s a stereotype that blind people are incapable, and I’ve made it my mission to prove that wrong. I want to show that I can be capable of so much more.
I think it’s totally okay to be blind, The world has become overly sensitive, and while that has its place, I believe in calling things what they are. Don’t live in denial or hide behind euphemisms. Own your reality, and find strength in it.”
WOW.
