Nazan's Vision

 

Blindness is never the end of vision - it's just another way of seeing. 

A photo of Nazan kneeling in front of an optical illusion painting. As she kneels and has her arms beside her at a 45 degrees angle, the paiting compliments her as if she has giant white wings behind her. She is smiling.
Here, Nazan is standing in front of a willow tree, parting its branches as if coming out of it. This is a bright photo surrounded by light and the colour green.

About Nazan - Rock star to Yogi 

  

With over 25 years of personal experience living with Rod Cone Dystrophy/RP (registered blind) and several years managing chronic pain and fatigue related to Fibromyalgia, Nazan brings a wealth of knowledge to her work in (dis)ability advocacy in everything that she offers or is a part of. 

Nazan has hosted panels and has interviewed a vast spectrum of individuals with varied conditions and her advocacy work also spans creative outlets; she has written and performed songs about mental health and sight loss, establishing a respected public profile in Brighton, UK and beyond under the stage/band name HAVVA. Her performances at renowned venues in the UK have led to features on BBC Introducing and guest appearances on BBC Radio Sussex, where she discusses topics on accessibility, discrimination, and equality.

During university, Nazan created a blog providing a platform for young people to share their experiences with various conditions. She also directed a short film featuring university students discussing their conditions, which is available on her YouTube channel - a platform she uses to share her knowledge and advocacy work to create positive social change. Nazan’s prominence in the (dis)ability community saw her headline the UK’s first Disability Pride Festival with her band, continuing to perform at subsequent festivals. She has delivered a TED inspired talk to hundreds, and has curated and led a fundraising event for Guide Dogs UK to name a couple of her outstanding projects in her late teens/early 20's.

Once immersed in the electric pulse of the music scene, Nazan’s journey took a profound turn after earning a music/ songwriting degree. Drawn to explore beyond the stage and find grounding in spirituality, Nazan began a quest that would lead far from the spotlight and deep into the heart of healing arts. Trading rock riffs for resonant healing frequencies, Nazan transformed her musical gift into a tool for wellness, merging rhythm with intention. Now, as a certified Sound Healer/ Therapist, Yoga Teacher, and Reiki Practitioner, Nazan channels her tapestry of experience and artistry into a poetic and therapeutic experience inviting others to find solace and transformation through the vibrant power of sound, movement, breath, and self-healing as empowering hollistic medicine.

She aims to share with as many people as possible all the knowledge that she has accumulated over the years that have profoundly helped her in her journey of healing despite previously living through (and overcoming) severe depression, anxiety and grief.

Aside from the world of EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion), she also has a deep passion for advocating for animal rights and environmental restoration.
