Part memoir and part self-help guide, Blind Not Broken follows Lucy Edwards' sight loss journey to becoming a thriving career woman
At only 17, Lucy's world went to black. Due to a rare condition called incontinentia pigmenti, Lucy lost her eyesight in an instant and suddenly had to learn how to navigate her life all over again. While incredibly difficult and traumatic, this also marked the beginning of Lucy's extraordinary journey to finding self-acceptance and happiness.
Lucy's motto in life is that she is 'blind, not broken'. In her book, she shows how anyone can adopt this same motto by demonstrating how the challenges we face in life need not break us but can instead inspire us to lead full, rich lives.
Each chapter contains inspirational tips, practical motivation and coping mechanisms, which can be applied to people of every ability who are grieving a loss or experiencing a sudden change. This book offers a unique take on empowerment, happiness, strength, triumph over adversity and how we view beauty in the world.
Lucy Edwards is a UK-based blind broadcaster, content creator and disability activist who is usually accompanied by her cute guide dog Molly. At only 17, Lucy lost her eyesight due to a rare condition called Incontinentia Pigmenti, but her motto in life is that she is 'blind, not broken'. She took to YouTube and TikTok and started to upload her experiences, becoming the first British blind person to pave the way for change across the platforms. Several years later, Lucy is now the first-ever blind content creator to become an Ambassador for Pantene featuring in their TV adverts, with her face across Superdrug stores nationwide to promote their Silky & Glowing range. Lucy also worked with Pantene closely to ensure all packaging was accessible to the vision-impaired community. Lucy continues to campaign for inclusivity, within the beauty industry and beyond.
