What's it like to hide your blindness from the world? Or not even know you're blind in the first place? Caroline Casey was in denial for the first 28 years of her life. Her parents never told her she was legally blind, and by the time she got into the working world, she didn't know how to be open about it. Holding back such an integral part of who you are can mess you up, and finally Caroline broke, realizing that it wasn't worth it anymore. The funny thing is, that's when her life really got good. Caroline chatted with us about her childhood, her work, and her new initiative to get 500 of the world's most powerful CEOs to sign a commitment to include disability in their business agenda.
