  "summary": "Susan Adams, a braider and makeup artist from Benue State, lost her sight to glaucoma after developing cataracts at the age of eight. Despite the challenges she faced, Adams continues to braid hair and do makeup, using social media to challenge misconceptions about blindness. The most difficult part of adjusting to life without sight was having to adjust to a life where everything she loved depended on her sight, including her career as a makeup artist, hairdresser, and fashion model.",
