Who is Lizzie Emeh?


 On Wednesday (9 October), the famed Google Doodle is headed by award-winning artist Lizzie Emeh, a singer-songwriter who was the first person with a learning disability to release a UK-wide album, Loud and Proud.

Emeh was born and raised in Notting Hill, London, and was of Irish and Nigerian heritage. When she was a baby, her parents were told she would never walk or talk. But, by the age of four, Emeh proved doctors wrong.

Emeh was first discovered at an open mic night in 1999 where she joined the arts organisation, Heart n Soul, which worked towards an inclusive future.

In an interview with M Magazine, Emeh shared how her nan inspired her.
