Lady Rabia Abdul-Hakim | Blind Beauty 66
“I was 25 years old, driving down the highway with my three young children in the van. When suddenly, I realized that I could barely see the traffic lights. Scared, I detoured to the local optometrist with my six-year-old son, Mohammad, calling out the color of the traffic lights.”
~Lady Rabia Abdul-Hakim
Lady Rabia, was born with poor eyesight which was her norm. But can you imagine what it must have been like to suddenly not be able to see when driving? For 25 years she managed quite well with her poor vision. Yet it wasn’t until this scary driving incident that she found out she had the progressive eye disease Keratoconus.
As a talented illustrator and author of a children’s book series Lady Rabia has an interesting story of grit and determination. Today she is working to rebuild her publishing company while serving as an Ambassador for Fight for Sight UK.
