People living with disabilities may have every reason to feel disadvantaged and approach each day feeling sulky. However, some choose not to; instead they surround themselves with a lot of positive energy, and beat all odds to achieve their dreams in life.
Sammy Brayo from Juja is one such man. Despite having no arms, he is a multitalented motivational speaker, artist and singer.
Brayo was surprised with a laptop, canvas, and paint brushes by Lotto Joto on November 9, 2018. The talented artist is one of the beneficiaries of the community oriented lottery focused on empowering the individual through winnings and fundraising for local communities.
He was discovered on the Radio Maisha #Konnectshow hosted by Mwende Macharia and Clemmo and was gifted with tools that would empower him and help him grow his brand through the show’s philosophy, ‘Jijenge Jenga Mtaa.
