Why America’s Got Talent Has a Positive Impact on the disabled community like No Other

America’s Got Talent has had a positive influence on people’s lives. People from all over the world, very talented people from all over the world have come to the show to show off what makes them special.

You can make the argument that America’s Got Talent is the only platform where everybody is equal.

Yeah, people do judge you but not in the way that Society does with everybody. Looking at it from an outsider’s perspective, watching at home on my TV contestants may be competing against one another but they all support one another.

The one thing that I love as a person with a disability is seeing people with disabilities represented like no other show sitcom, talk show, or what have you.

This past season of America Got Talent was well-represented by people with disabilities.

Every year there has been at least one person with a disability representing the disability community.

However, 2023 was different meaning the amount of talent that came from the disability community was outstanding.

There have been five comedians four singers and one guy born without legs who has done amateur wrestling, he has also done wheelchair racing for track and field, learned how to play drums, and has done MMA. He won his first fight.

Codi Lee won America Got Talent in 2019, the 14th season of America Got Talent. Now he’s got his show in Vegas and won $10000. What makes Codi so cool is that he’s blind and autistic yet still sings and plays the piano.

In the season that just ended Putri Ariani who is also blind and blue judges away when she plays piano ultimately winning the golden buzzer.

Simply put America Got Talent is one of the leaders for helping people with disabilities reach their dreams regardless if they win or not.

The rest of the world could learn what America’s Got Talent has done for the disabled community.
