Episode Synopsis

What happens when you lose your sight, your hearing, and none of your drive to do something meaningful? This week on Headspace, we meet Kelvin Crosby, also known as The DeafBlind Potter - a resilent, joyful, and deeply intentional human who uses clay, community, conviction, and faith to shape a more meaningful world. Kelvin's story is anything but ordinary. Diagnosed with Usher Syndrome and navigating live without vision or hearing, Kelvin shares how he built a thriving ceramics practice, started a business, and became a powerful advocate for accessibility and faith-driven resilience.
