mind to those living with epilepsy and their families .

Despite his achievements , Bright ' s vision continued to expand . Witnessing the struggles of accessing timely medication , he launched a service using motorbikes to deliver necessary medications directly to people ' s homes , reducing the burden on patients and their families .
His initiatives have not only changed lives but have also reshaped perceptions of disability in Zambia and beyond —" disability is not inability ." He embodies the spirit of a creator , constantly finding new ways to improve lives and inspire others .
Bright ' s advice to anyone facing similar challenges is to embrace the role of a solution creator . I live by the mantra that says I am not going to wait for the solution to be created ,” he says . “ I am part of the solution creators because the person who knows the problem best is the one who is going through it .” He continued , “ So if a person is disabled , it ' s not the end of the world . Start figuring out how to create the solution . I say to people if your car is broken down you are likely to get help if you ’ re seen pushing the car instead of just seated in the broken car , looking like you ' re having a very nice time just enjoying the sunshine .”
Bright ’ s life teaches us that adversity can be a powerful catalyst for innovation and that true change begins with the courage to reimagine the possible .
Today , the Purple Glow Foundation is more than just an advocacy group , it ' s a thriving community of hope , support and action . As Bright looks to the future , he envisions a global impact , with plans to expand the reach of his apps and services to meet the needs of people across different cultures and regions . He has shown us that transforming pain into purpose is possible , proving that even in our darkest moments , we can find the light — not only for ourselves but for the world around us .
Bright is calling for partnerships from those who are interested in furthering the work of the Purple Glow Foundation .
