Summary
Nigerian-born singer and songwriter Blessing Offor immigrated to the United States when he was six years old, leaving his parents and five older siblings behind. His family made the difficult choice to send him to America for medical care because he was born with congenital glaucoma and was nearly blind in his left eye. A few years later a fluke accident left him almost totally blind in both eyes. It was a series of events that some might consider tragic, but Blessing Offor considers a gift. Blessing is an incredibly talented musician and songwriter, with songs like "Brighter Days," "Tin Roof," and "Believe." If you're in a place where your prayers don't seem to be answered and it feels like everything has gone wrong, Blessing's story might change your perspective.
