The Reality of an Invisible Disability: A Storytelling Series
Welcome to "The Reality of an Invisible Disability," a new storytelling content series dedicated to amplifying the voices of individuals experiencing vision loss, at any spectrum. This series aims to shed light on the invisible experience that unifies all disabilities, providing a platform for sharing personal and raw experiences, and fostering a community of understanding and advocacy.
We are launching this series to validate and support the lived experiences of those with blindness or low vision, and to engage new advocates to keep the conversation going. Each quarter, we invite our community to submit their stories and lived experiences on various topics related to their unique journeys.
Are You Blind?
I find it difficult to explain my eyesight to people. I have retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which is a condition that progressively causes vision loss. I am legally blind, my peripheral vision is very limited, and most of what I see is blurry.
Join the Foundation in this journey of sharing, learning, and advocating for a more inclusive world!
