How does culture shape the way touch is experienced? In this episode, we explore the stories of two participants, living in very different countries divided by two oceans but sharing similar discrimination and exclusion as they grew up. We will learn from them how taxing it can be to adjust to an inaccessible world, and we will reflect on how bullying shaped their relationship with physical contact. By understanding cultural and societal influences on touch, we can create more respectful, inclusive spaces for visually impaired individuals. If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is,
