Many of us lead with our differences, emphasizing what sets us apart. But our shared humanity is what actually brings us together.

This week on Lavin Voices, we talk to Lavin Exclusive Speaker Molly Burke. Molly is a trailblazing blind advocate, author, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, who has built a community of over 5 million people across social media through her personal, funny, and refreshingly real videos that bridge the gap between the blind and sighted communities. Her new book, Unseen (out today!), is a powerful memoir about identity, resilience, and what it truly means to be seen in a world that often overlooks difference.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What Molly's personal journey taught her about disability and connection
• Why we crave authenticity (even when we assume we don't)
• How to cultivate vulnerability as a superpower, especially in high-pressure and competitive environments
• How to make people care about your cause (and why that starts with being seen as human)

In conversation with The Lavin Agency's Director of Intellectual Talent, Charles Yao, Molly answers these questions and more:

• What is ableism?
• What is vulnerability?
• How to build resilience?
• What is disability representation in media?
• How to make people care?
• What are blind people's experiences?
• How to combat stereotypes?
• How to practice empathy?
• What are visual hallucinations?
• How to connect with others?
