A Nigerian journalism student and disability-rights activist examines DeafBlindness
Last semester I had the honor of working as a mentor to a Nigerian journalism student, Oluwabukolami Omolara Badmus, as part of the Disability Justice Project.
Bukola, as she is known, is a 33-year-old disability-rights activist and feminist based in Lagos. She is the financial secretary and Lagos state coordinator for the Lionheart Ability Leaders International Foundation (LALIF). Badmus also teaches at a public high school.
For her final project, Badmus produced a short documentary about DeafBlindness. Please have a look.
The Disability Justice Project is run by my Northeastern colleague Jody Santos. Back in the day, we were colleagues at the Phoenix; Jody worked for the Providence edition and I was based in Boston.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year’s Day, everyone! I hope 2022 brings you good health, friendship and joy.
