What an unforgettable evening.

I had the absolute honour of emceeing the 2025 Blind Australian of the Year Awards Gala Dinner in Brisbane and wow, what a night!

It’s not every day you feel like screaming with pride, “I’m blind!” But on this night, I truly, GENUINELY understood what disability pride means.

I’ve always believed that laughter is the best medicine, and I loved using my terrible jokes (you’re welcome!) to take everyone on a journey—where we not only celebrated the beauty of living with disability but also had a laugh at the weird, wonderful, and downright silly things that come with it. To everyone who came up for a chat afterwards—thank you. Those conversations mean the world to me.

Massive shoutout to the Link Vision team, recipients and finalists of the Blind Australian of the Year Awards, what a phenomenal group of people. Wouldn’t have been the night it was without my blind sisters @reggiebirdbb and @rachaeleahcar 

And lastly and most definitely not the least, David, my oh so handsome, human guide dog❤️ and husband of course. 

Accessibility: A wide range of photos from the gala where everyone is dressed up in stunning formal attire. There are group photos on the red carpet and also photos of Karan on stage as the emcee.
