Lucy Edwards-Cave

Broadcaster, Content Creator & Disability Activist

Lucy Edwards is a blind broadcaster, journalist, content creator, & disability activist and is an absolute force to be reckoned with. After loosing her full eyesight at 17, Lucy had no one to look up to that was going through the same thing, and made it her mission to share her experiences with the world. Through her infectious personality and her open commentary on life Lucy has amassed an incredible 1.8M followers on TikTok, 707K subscribers with over 350 million views on YouTube, and 145,000 followers on Instagram.
As both a Broadcaster and Journalist Lucy has presented reports for the BBC on TV & radio and in 2019 she became the first-ever blind presenter to host on BBC Radio 1. Earlier this year Lucy’s 2 part BBC documentary ‘How Does A Blind Girl Go On Safari?’ took the awards ceremonies by storm, winning an RTS Award.

Always pushing for change, Lucy frequently consult in house with brands to improve their disability and inclusion strategies. Whilst an ambassador for global haircare giant Pantene, Lucy consulted closely with the team to ensure the packaging was accessible and the product is the first to feature the trailblazing technology Navilens. It doesn’t stop there, Lucy has also partnered with more of the world’s leading brands including Google, Estée Lauder, Spotify & L’oreal and has positioned herself as a leading voice for disability inclusion.

Most recently, Lucy has announced the launch of her debut book ‘Blind Not Broken’ – a journey from sight loss to becoming a thriving business woman. We cannot wait to get our hands on a copy!

As one of Lucy’s favourite sayings goes ‘Nothing about us, without us’, and as she continues to pave the way for change, Lucy has positioned herself as a key figure in both digital and print media.
