Comfort Ekwo is a visually impaired theatre arts graduate who lost her sight when she was eight years old. She now identifies as a person with low vision as she can still see light and certain objects. Comfort attended the University of Jos and a school for the blind in Abuja, where she learned Braille and adapted to her new reality.
She experienced discrimination and prejudice from others who assumed she could not do certain things due to her visual impairment. Despite this, Comfort has started a rehabilitation center to teach others with visual impairments how to become independent and has worked successfully in various roles requiring visual abilities.
