We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Zephyrin Victor Jr a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Zephyrin thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I’ve been into the arts since I was in Elementary School where my teachers had me in many plays and musical programs. Throughout the rest of my years in school I continued to show my talents in performances, state competitions and television appearances. Comedy was not in my thoughts, but acting stayed in my mind. I was ushered into Comedy by a cousin and a few family members and acting opportunities came with it. I’ve been taking the stage for almost 7 years now and I plan to keep going hard at until I can’t anymore. I’ve heard everything from, I can’t do it to being disabled won’t let me become anything big. This had resulted in me being left out shows to losing acting gigs, but I refuse to be counted out when my best hasn’t been seen. I’m on a mission and am making way for those after me

Zephyrin, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a totally blind comedian and actor that has a creative mind to go above and beyond your expectations. I put my mind to being the best I can be once the lights come on and I educate my audiences on the disabled community by sharing my experiences and adding humor to the experience. I’ve been in the industry for almost 7 years and I’m still in love with it. My goal is to be on the big screen with other superstars. I’ve already shared stages with big names and have had lead roles in a few short films, but I want more. So join my journey to stardom.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding things about being an artist are; hearing hands clapping, laughter, fans coming up to me and repeating a phrase or line I spoke, hearing my name yelled or having it hash tagged on social media, when I get gigs or when I’m asked to make appearances, finding out that a fan is sporting my merch or even has purchased a ticket to support my performance.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

I’ve been told on multiple occasions that my disability wasn’t going to allow me to host a show or even headline. So, I refrained from working with those particular promoters and venues and put in the work to reinvent myself by strengthening my skills while attending other events that afforded me the opportunity to perform. I was able to return to those previous locations with a defined list of past and current opportunities listed on my resume. I sent a message to the ones that denied me in the beginning because of my disability, that I CAN do what I set out to accomplish. Now my name is known not only locally but, in our states throughout the east coast.
