In this eye-opening episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs, host Charisse Walker sits down with the powerhouse that is Angela Fowler—a coach, consultant, speaker, and unapologetic truth-teller who also happens to be totally blind. Angela brings humor, candor, and a wealth of knowledge to a conversation that might just change the way you run your business—and parent your children.

Angela’s mission is clear: to help businesses and entrepreneurs make their products and services more accessible to the 25% of the population living with a disability. But here’s the kicker—accessibility isn’t just a moral obligation, it’s also a smart business move. With a $2.1 trillion buying power, people with disabilities represent a massive, often-overlooked market. Angela breaks down how small, thoughtful changes in your systems, tech, or even website design can open the door to more users, more customers, and more impact.

She explains in relatable, plain language how things like screen readers and keyboard navigation work—tools many sighted people have never even heard of. But Angela isn’t just tech talk. She’s storytelling gold. With warmth and wit, she shares what it’s like to navigate motherhood, life, and entrepreneurship as a blind woman, including hilarious anecdotes about being chased by her mouse cursor and blaming her cat for muted mics.

Angela also drops serious parenting wisdom, speaking directly to moms with older kids and brand-new babies alike. Her biggest advice? Set boundaries early. Because kids will test them—and you—especially during the teen years. With her own son now entering adulthood and exploring his faith, Angela reflects on what she wishes she’d done differently, while also celebrating the wins.

Charisse and Angela discuss how society pushes us toward sameness, discouraging differences and making inclusion feel like an afterthought. But Angela believes most people want to do the right thing—they just don’t know what it is. Her goal is to educate without shaming and to empower without overwhelming. And she does it all while cracking jokes and keeping it real.

This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, business owners, educators, and parents who want to do better, be better, and reach more people—without needing a tech degree or a complete overhaul. Whether you're designing a product, managing a team, or just choosing how your family operates, Angela's insights remind us that accessibility benefits everyone. You don’t have to wait until someone asks—you can build with inclusion in mind from the start.And if you're a mom who’s ever doubted herself or felt like she’s winging it through the chaos of parenting and business—this episode is your permission to breathe, reassess, and give yourself some grace.
