My youngest daughter is 20. A beautiful, kind, intelligent, caring and wonderful person. She loves travel and tourism. Yet she has never worked a day in her life. She searches for work daily, attends all of her Job Center appointments and has attended many interviews. So why is she not enjoying a job? Why at 20 has she not had that feeling and enjoyed that first wages payment hitting her bank account? The reason is simple. Discrimination. Just like me here, my daughter introduces herself first and then she tells you about a condition that she lives with. My daughter is blind. Would you have guessed? But now you know, your looking at her picture again? Trying to put that mental picture together. Since she was 16 and able to look for work she had 0 job offers. None. 40+ job interviews. Now I'm going to ask you something. Who do you see in the picture now? A Blind Person Or a young lady with amazing potential. Because I see the latter. If you or anyone in my network has a vacancy in travel and tourism, who has the ability to get to know my daughter and what she can do, and cater for some minor adjustments to enable her to deliver her duties then please reach out to me. She doesn't see herself as disabled. Only you can do that.
