En Vogue, Tony Tony Tone and more musical artists from Oakland could help answer this question. In this episode we meet two gentlemen creating a documentary that will help others do the same. The second part of today's podcast explores Hip Hop from two angles you may have not known existed. * Krip Hop Nation, an international network for artists with disabilities. * Hip Learning, using the rap element of Hip Hop to help children learn science and more!

Remember when some thought rap music was a fad? They never thought it would become what it is today... a world wide billion dollar, trend setting industry. I'm sure they never thought how this art form could end up being a bridge for a 19 year old young lady adjusting to her vision loss. Young Ant, is spittin' lyrics about her own experience adjusting to blindness. And I have a feeling that's just the beginning... Come meet the young lady and rapper. Then join Team Ant!

Many would assume growing up blind in the 1950's & 60's had its challenges. What about growing up Black and Blind attending a segregated school for the blind? In this latest Reid My Mind Radio you hear from the Executive Director of the Radio Reading Network of Maryland, Robert Lewis. We talk about segregation, police brutality playing with Stevie Wonder and he even gives some of his personal music suggestions for those times when you just need a lift!

A look at Notes on Blindness, a new film released in the US and premiering in NYC. It's the story of John Hull who recorded his thoughts, observations and more on audio cassette. This Gatewave story includes a conversation with Co-Director Peter Middleton. It's pretty hard to watch a movie about someone going blind without thinking of my experience.

Back from another Pennsylvania Council of the Blind Conference. This is not a recap. After all of these years, this was the first time I recall hearing that such conferences have been described as fantasy. Fantastic! Yes, but I never heard them described as being a fantasy. You could say this is my opinion on the idea or you could just say it's what was on my mind!
