Kenyan Gospel Singer Daddy Owen Uses His Platform to Help People with Disabilities

Daddy Owen, a Kenyan gospel singer, is using his platform to help people with disabilities. In 2012, he founded the Malaika Tribute Awards, which recognize the achievements of people with disabilities.

Owen himself is visually impaired. He lost one eye when he was attacked by an angry mob during his teenage years. He says that the experience made him realize the challenges that people with disabilities face.

“The stigma is very hard to handle,” he said. “When you look at disabled people, they don’t see that as normal, they feel victimized.”

The Malaika Tribute Awards are a way for Owen to show the world that people with disabilities can achieve great things. The awards have honored people from all walks of life, including athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs.

“I want to show the world that people with disabilities are not limited,” Owen said. “They can do anything they set their minds to.”

Owen’s work with the Malaika Tribute Awards is an inspiration to people all over the world. He is showing us that it is possible to overcome challenges and achieve our dreams, regardless of our abilities.

In addition to the Malaika Tribute Awards, Owen also uses his platform to raise awareness about the challenges that people with disabilities face. He has spoken out about the need for better access to education and employment for people with disabilities. He has also called for an end to the stigma that people with disabilities face.

Owen’s work is making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities. He is helping to create a more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
