In this episode of **The World As I See It**, I’m answering the question: **"How can you support me?"** I dive into what real support actually looks like—it’s not just about helping me cross the street; it’s about having people in my corner who will stand behind me and fight for what I need. I also share why I’m grateful to be in the public school system and how my inner circle helps build my confidence without sheltering me. To everyone who supports me and challenges me to step out of my comfort zone: thank you. It makes all the difference. If you have questions, feedback, or just have ideas for what I should talk about next, let me know!

What do I wish you knew about me that has nothing to do with my blindness? In this episode, I’m opening up about my real personality. I talk about why I use blind jokes to break the ice, the awkwardness of the "Guess Who" game at Walmart, and why I want to be a friend first and a source of information second. My blindness is how I navigate the world, but my personality is how I connect with it.

Have you ever wondered if asking me a question about my blindness is actually annoying? Or if I’m tired of being a "walking encyclopedia" for accessibility?

In this week's episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the mental energy it takes to be a constant advocate. From the repetition of the same three questions to the difficulty of explaining technology I can’t show you, I’m sharing the real reasons why I sometimes feel "explained out."

But before you stop asking—listen to the full episode. There’s a reason I keep showing up.

In this "unfiltered" episode of The World As I See It, I’m diving into the reality of how people interact with me. While it doesn’t happen every day, there are certain situations where the way people treat me completely changes the moment they see the blindness.

I’m sharing my honest truth about the massive difference between being "helpful" and overstepping boundaries. This isn't about being mean—it’s about education, mutual respect, and learning to see the person before the disability. My blindness is part of my life, but it isn't the whole story.

In this episode, I’m taking a complete 180-degree turn from our last conversation. While we recently talked about those moments when navigating the world without sight can make you feel less confident or a bit overwhelmed, today I’m talking about the "Blind Advantage."

Most people look at my life and see what’s missing, but the reality is that I’ve developed a specific toolkit that most sighted people never even tap into. I’m sharing the things I am actually better at because I am blind—from catching details that others completely overlook to a unique way of judging who a person truly is. I also address one of the biggest myths about blindness that I hear all the time.

If you’ve ever wondered how a different perspective can actually be an edge, you’ll want to listen to this one.

In Episode 33, I’m diving into a question many people are curious about but might be hesitant to ask: Does being blind actually scare me?

The answer isn't a simple yes or no. In this episode, I break down why "fear" isn't the right word for my experience. Instead, I talk about the role of confidence, the reality of overstimulation in places like city streets or crowded amusement parks, and how weather like wind and rain changes the way I perceive the world. I also discuss the vital importance of my tools, like my cane, and why my perspective as someone blind from birth differs from those who lose their sight later in life.

Join me for an honest look at how I navigate uncertainty, trust my intuition, and continue to show up and learn every single day—even when things get difficult.

I get asked this question all the time: Do I dream? And if I do, what do I actually "see"? Since I’ve been blind since birth, my dreams might be a little different than what you’d expect.

In this episode, I’m diving into how my brain builds a dream world using sound, touch, and smell instead of pictures. I also talk about why some of us forget our dreams the moment we wake up and that sudden "falling" sensation that jolts us awake.

I love to try new things even if it’s scary or challenging at first. I’ve mentioned before that I go skiing and I’ve even tried scuba diving. This was my third year skiing, and I’ve done scuba diving one time. In this episode, I breakdown exactly how I’ve done it and the amazing people who help make it happen.

In today's episode, I’m talking about an article I saw regarding a new brain chip (Neuralink). The headline says it’s supposed to "cure" blindness, but there is a lot more to the story than that.

I’m sharing my honest perspective on whether I would actually let someone put a chip in my brain to see. It’s a choice that sounds easy to some, but when you live this life every day, it's a much bigger conversation.

In this episode, I’m trying something different by reacting to a news headline that hits close to home for the visually impaired community. I’m diving into the "silent threat" of electric vehicles—from the real-world dangers of quiet engines to the frustrating ways people are tampering with safety features. This isn't just news; it's my personal perspective on why silence on the road is a risk we can't afford to ignore.
