1) Episode Summary

In this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street welcome Shanell Matos for a powerful conversation about vision loss, motherhood, advocacy, and rebuilding life with courage and honesty. Shanell shares how she celebrated ten years of vision loss by completing a 44-mile tandem bike ride in New York City, reflects on losing her vision as a new mom, and talks about learning Braille, asking for help, finding resources, and stepping into advocacy through tools like RightHear and Discover Live. Her story is a reminder that success does not always start pretty, but showing up, doing the hard thing, and refusing to let fear write the story can change everything.
