As the title suggests, Nas Campanella is really cool (and accomplished and driven and resilient).

You might recognise her voice from the Triple J cinematic universe or know her work as the Disability Affairs Reporter for the ABC. But what you might not know is that Nas is vision impaired, or that a neurological condition means that she can’t read braille either.
In this episode of The Vulnerabilitea House, Nas answers the questions “what childhood challenges best prepared you for adulthood?”
Chatting to Hugh, Ryan and Josh, Nas talks about her relationship with her disability, and how it shapes her identity.
Nas also dives into a powerful conversation with the guys about the role agency and accessibility in the experience of discrimination, and shares why, if a magical operation could restore her sight, she wouldn’t change a thing.
Nas, it has been an absolute joy.
