Navigating Through Life with an Invisible Disibility
This week's guest has a story that connects former US President Barack Obama, opera singing, a civil war, and a non-verbal learning disability. Annie Homsy-Harris was born with a learning disability, and music became an outlet of expression. Annie’s ensuing opera career was inspired by her grandfather’s groundbreaking role as the first Syrian to perform with the Travelling Metropolitan Opera Company.
Annie focuses on her most difficult task- reacquainting herself with basic learning concepts every day. She also shares her call for legislative change to remove educational barriers for persons like herself, attracting a gratitude letter from the former US President.
With themes of perseverance and self-love, Annie’s podcast also features her pivot to becoming project manager at the Financial Tech firm, and how she converted her ancestor’s journal into a book, “Grandfather’s Civil War Story.”
