The singing activist

The World Health Organisation estimates that at least 81 million in Africa have some form of disability. In Nigeria alone it is estimated that 25.5 million people in Nigeria had at least one disability.

Grace Jerry is one of the 25.5 million people who have a disability. In 2002, Grace Jerry was on her way home from choir rehearsal when she was knocked down by a drunk driver and left with paralysis of the lower limbs. After the accident she says music took on a whole new dimension and now she uses music as part of her activism in Nigeria.

The Presidential Precinct Yali video blog, Grace or 'Gracie' eloquently speaks about her experience as a advocate for disability rights in a developing country.
