Aftersight Ep. 5 Esubalew “Ethan” Johnston, Passionate Soul

Ethan’s story is as staggering as it is heartwarming. Born in Ethiopia, he was taken and blinded at a young age - then forced to beg for those who injured him. Believed dead by his mother, Ethan was adopted in 1997 and relocated to Missouri where he lived with 20 other adopted siblings. Today, Ethan is a father, an employee of the federal government, a founder of a nonprofit, and an unbelievably resilient soul. Join Penn and Ethan on Aftersight as they hear about their friendship, his passion for life, his reunion with his mother.
