In this remarkable interview, Rosalin Abigail Kyere-Nartey, who was diagnosed with dyslexia at age 30 after years of struggling through school, decided to transform her trials and tribulations into a mission: to transform how people, teachers, and employees understand and support learners with dyslexia and related learning differences. Rosalin is the proud Founder of the Africa Dyslexia Organization (ADO) and she travels around the world to educate and raise awareness on the importance of creating inclusive education.
In this podcast, Rosalin describes why dyslexic people are too often overlooked, stigmatised and not given the support they need and why they are often attracted to hands-on professions in the hospitality field. She clearly explains how not only dyslexic but other neuro-divergent learners often excel in jobs that require problem solving, spatial awareness, visual thinking, creativity and empathy.
