Sadaya Paige on The Kelly Clarkson Show
When Sadaya Paige appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in March, she and her mother Dora discussed Sadaya's social media accounts, where she uploads gorgeous covers of her singing and playing the piano, as well as content that raises awareness for children with blindness.
Clarkson complimented Paige's raspy tone and full vibrato before the three talked about her inspiring channel that chronicles her daily life as child born with blindness.
"I had to create a community myself and reach out to other families who were understanding of what I was going through" Paige's mother said when explaining how Sadaya's popular pages came to be. "We advocate as much as possible for blindness awareness."
"I think people that aren't impacted daily, aren't around anybody that maybe can't see, they don't know what they're capable of. So I think its awesome that Sadaya's there as a kid, doing normal kid stuff, going like 'Hey, I see life in a different way than you.' And I think that's cool. You're showcasing [that] it doesn't have to be this big, huge burden. This is a really different way of looking at life," Clarkson gushed in response while tearing up.
"Thank for @kellyclarkson for your kind words, understanding, patience, and compassion with our story," Sadaya's Instagram page captioned on the video of the interview.
"We are incredibly thankful and honored to have been invited on @kellyclarksonshow" to share our journey and shed light on the blind community and the community of parents who undergo what I've gone through AND continue to go through," she also wrote.
