Sport can liberate, but it can also exclude. For many young African people living with disabilities, athletic ambition is weighed down by barriers that begin in schools, in communities, and in the silence of low expectations. Yet among them, a defiant generation is rising—one that refuses to be reduced to just “inspiring.” One of those voices is Ugandan Paralympian and youth advocate Husnah Kukundakwe, who, at just 18, has competed on the world’s biggest stages. Now, as the newly appointed vice chair of the Paralympic Committee Athlete's Council, she is amplifying the voices of African youth, proving that barriers are meant to be broken.
