Molly Burke is a motivational speaker, YouTuber, and disability rights advocate. Born in Toronto, Canada, she was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare retinal disease causing loss of vision, when she was just 4 years old and lost the majority of her vision by age 14.
Despite this, and the ensuing obstacles and hardships she faced, it wasn't long before she began bringing light into the lives of others. Molly began public speaking at the age of five as an ambassador for The Foundation Fighting Blindness Canada. Since then, she has inspired thousands with her story.
As a student, she was tormented by bullies and suffered from anxiety and depression. It wasn't until she found the strength to face her challenges, and the courage to reach out to others, that she came to see the light and find hope.
As a motivational speaker, Molly has traveled the world sharing her story with youth, families and corporate organizations and spoken alongside Demi Lovato, Macklemore, Martin Sheen, Magic Johnson, Martin Luther King III, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Malala Yousafzai and the Kielburger brothers.
