Synopsis
Lachi is an award-winning musician and an unapologetic activist who awakens the world to this truth: Disability is an identity worth brazenly celebrating. In her book, Lachi spotlights how disabled people have to be driven, persistent, perceptive, and highly adaptable just to get through any given day. What would happen if society finally valued disabled people as the leaders, role models, and key innovators they truly are? I IDENTIFY AS BLIND envisions how we can build that world. Weaving together personal stories, sharp pop culture takes, inspiring activist history, and incisive cultural criticism, Lachi lights the path forward and reveals how insights from people with disabilities have shaped society for the better. She interviews some of the most powerful personalities in Disability Culture, including Senator Tammy Duckworth, ADA advocate and disability rights icon Judy Heumann, and Oscar-nominated filmmaker of Crip Camp Jim LeBrecht. She even takes readers behind the scenes at Coldplay concerts, since after Chris Martin developed tinnitus he helped transform his concerts into some of the most accessible in the world. Readers discover how many innovations created for people with disabilities benefit everyone - from audio books, to curb cuts, to the Internet. (Yes, Vint Cerf helped develop the first commercial email service because he was hearing impaired and had trouble communicating by phone.) Filled with humour and inspiration, I IDENTIFY AS BLIND helps readers find the power of leaning into the riskiest parts of their identities (whether they are disabled or not), and understand all the wisdom inherent in the disability experience.

Hardback. Condition: Good. With style and straight talk, musician and changemaker Lachi flips disability and neurodivergence into an empowering identity, a cultural movement, and an innovation engine What if the most taboo parts of our identity-the parts we're taught to mask-are exactly the ones that hold our greatest power? Lachi is an award-winning singer and leader who awakens the world to this truth: Disability has long shaped our culture and is an identity worth brazenly reclaiming. In this book, Lachi reveals why dropping the stigma is the ultimate glow-up, and inspires readers to celebrate the boldest parts of themselves. I Identify as Blind pulses with energy. Through magnetic storytelling and pop-culture deep dives, Lachi challenges mainstream views on disability and neurodivergence with humor and heart. Because visionaries with disabilities have always driven progress. The book features trailblazing figures like Senator Tammy Duckworth, Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte, Microsoft executive Jenny Lay-Flurrie, and so many more. Lachi even takes readers behind the scenes at Coldplay concerts, since after Chris Martin developed tinnitus, he transformed his concerts into some of the most accessible in the world. Each story reframes disability not as a deficit but as a wellspring of collective strength. And inventions created for people with disabilities benefit everyone-from audiobooks to curb cuts to the internet. (Vint Cerf helped develop the first commercial email service, because he had trouble communicating by phone.) With punchy humor and radical honesty, Lachi dismantles stereotypes and builds a new narrative of Disability identity. I Identify as Blind is just what the world needs right now: an invitation to a cultural movement that celebrates disabilities as a source of power and pride.
