In a recent interview with BBC News, Chiwetalu Charity, a courageous 24-year-old woman without legs, bravely shared her experiences as a disabled university student.
Chiwetalu opened up about the unfortunate reality she has faced in relationships, where many men she has been involved with feel ashamed to be seen with her in public and attempt to confine her due to her disability.
However, Chiwetalu firmly believes in her own worth and refuses to submit to any man who is embarrassed by her. Despite her disability, she emphasizes that she is capable of doing the same things as anyone else and strongly dislikes being pitied.

She expressed her deep frustration with her last relationship, where her partner complained about being mocked when seen with her, treating her as if she were a child. This served as a poignant reminder of the challenges she faces in forming meaningful connections.
Currently, Chiwetalu is focused on finding happiness in her own way. She engages with her creativity by creating content on TikTok from the comfort of her room and cherishes the support of a small circle of genuine friends.
Chiwetalu’s legs were amputated at birth after her mother discovered that they lacked veins and were decaying. Despite this adversity, Chiwetalu continues to face life with strength and determination, refusing to let her disability define her.
