Women On The Move | Shayy Winn
Editor’s Note
If you’re an American Idol fan you may have followed our Featured Woman On The Move for April. Shayy Winn captured America’s heart from the moment of her audition where she sang Rise Up by Andra Day.
While losing eyesight is never easy Shayy demonstrates resilience and pushes through during the tough times. Choosing to hone her craft through hard work and courage are the keys to her success.
As a legally blind artist, Shayy showed the world how she had to ‘rise up’ during the competition. We are so honored to share part of her story with you via video and the transcript which has been edited for clarity. Enjoy! ~Steph
Never miss a beat.
