Bio : Lachi

Named a USA Today Woman of the Year, Lachi is an award winning recording artist, author, media personality, and internationally renowned Disability Culture champion. Born legally blind, Lachi created the U.N.-recognized organization RAMPD.org (Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities), which works to make the highest levels of the music industry more disability inclusive. From her Glam Canes fashion line, to her PBS series Renegades, to her award-winning book I Identify as Blind, to co-producing GRAMMY-nominated album The Colors in My Mind, Lachi leverages pop culture—through humor, music, storytelling, fashion, and public speaking—to challenge the stigma often associated with disability.
