Isheba Cornwall is only 20 years old but certainly wise beyond her years. She lost her vision in one eye at 6 years after an incident during the summer holidays. This later affected her self esteem as she was bullied in school. Using her misfortune as a fuel to succeed, Isheba worked hard and used every opportunity to learn and excel.
Her love for writing landed her a job as a teen writer for the Jamaica Observer and at 15 years old became a co-host of the popular television program Talk up Yout. The program is now on radio and after 5 years she's still one of the main host. She's also a young entrepreneur having started her business Empowering Tees while still a student at the Excelsior High School.
She's presently a second year student at the University of the West Indies and a Social Media Ambassador for the United States Embassy in Jamaica.
Isheba shares her journey of overcoming and success and gives life lessons that we can all apply to our lives.
