“The main challenges that I encounter while delivering news reports is that reading the braille system is difficult, especially when your hand is not familiar with the script. If a typical anchor needs to read the news report two to three times so that he can master it, I need to read it six times.”
The 26-year-old hopes to inspire other people with disabilities

“All institutions have to provide people with disabilities with chances and to include them among their staff, because our opportunities are really limited. I always talk about this issue and emphasize it because it is really important. The step taken by Roya channel is really unique and requires courage to do it.”
