Told by his doctors he would never be able to walk like a “normal child”, he found his passion in breakdancing and now teaches his award-winning moves to students who flip and twirl their way to trophies.
His parents were concerned that even walking would further damage his legs, because his right knee had a metal pin inserted to hold the leg together. Blessing figured that his limbs were already broken, and he didn’t want the deformity to lead to a broken spirit, so he snuck away from his parents’ home to hone his skills.
