  • Aftersight Ep. 30: Blind Warrior Sven
    Blind Warrior Sven is a Dutch video game streamer who also happens to be fully blind. His game is Street Fighter V, he’s ranked in the top 1% of players globally, and he plays completely by sound. It’s so incredible that sometimes people do not believe it - even though he wears a mask to prove he is the real deal.
    But Sven is so much more than a high tier gamer. He’s a kind soul who wants to bring community and joy to those around him. He’s a man with a powerful story, an even temperament, and candid honesty.

  • Aftersight Ep. 29: Sara Chung - Judo Paraolympian
    Sarah works - and that’s not just to say she has a job as an accessessibility analyst. Sarah WORKS. When she decides to do something, she commits. Even when things are hard or when things maybe aren’t looking perfect, she thinks back to the word of her father and says, “Yes, I can!”
    That attitude led her to judo, and through judo that led her to Rio for the paralympics. It led her to take a great job in a new city. It led her to where she is today - a vibrant, interesting, engaging person who is willing to share it with the world.
