What does it really take to start over and find purpose after losing your sight in a world built for the sighted?
In this episode of Access Granted, our co-founder, Mike Iannelli (TAG), sits down with our very own Angus Kola (TAG), Senior Accessibility Analyst at Ablr. Angus shares his journey from growing up in South Africa, to suddenly losing his sight while serving abroad, to rebuilding his life and career from the ground up.
We talk about what it takes to adapt when everything changes overnight, the role of family and community in finding your path, and how accessibility is directly tied to independence, dignity, and opportunity. You’ll also hear how Angus uses his lived experience to lead accessibility audits, mentor future accessibility professionals, and give back to blind communities in South Africa.
This episode is about resilience, purpose, and the power of inclusion.
