I lost my sight, but I wouldn't want it back | Lucy Edwards with Victoria Derbyshire

From Losing Her Sight to Inspiring Millions Lucy Edwards, who went blind at 17 due to a rare genetic condition. "In that moment everything I knew had gone." Lucy opens up about the moment everything changed, from trying to hold onto memories of her mum’s face to navigating a world that suddenly treated her differently. She speaks candidly about discrimination, her IVF journey, independence, and how she rebuilt her confidence to become one of the most influential disability advocates online. After losing her sight, Lucy began sharing TikTok videos, building a following of 1.1 million, and growing her YouTube channel, ⁠@lucyedwards⁠, to over 800K subscribers, where she shares her lived experience and advocates for the blind and visually impaired community. This is a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, and redefining what your future can look like when everything is taken away. 🔔 Subscribe to Victoria Derbyshire's Unbelievable Britain for more extraordinary stories told by the people who lived them.
