October is Blindness Awareness Month. 👁️

It’s only 11% of the population that is completely blind. The rest of the community is able to make out shapes, shadows, faces, lights, computer screens. Regardless of what we are able to see or not see we are living beautiful and incredible lives!

Keep learning more about Blindness this month to educate yourself and family.

Photo descriptions for one photo of a pumpkin under a bridge first slide reads 1) Happy National Blindness Awareness Month did you know…. 2) Blindness is a spectrum. 85-89% of the blind community can still see something. 3) That blind people live incredible and amazing lives!!

When using a white cane you have many tips to choose from. I started out with a marshmallow tip and have transferred to the ball tip.

Enjoying the switch up. It makes walking down broken sidewalks and cracks on streets much easier and safer for me to navigate.

How cool is it that there are so many options for independence as a Blind person? We can decide what works best for us with no explanation needed.

Let’s spread that across our friends and families, everyone has their own choice.

Hey everyone!
I’ve been running a virtual “Name Your Cane” Happy Hour once a month for white cane users around the globe and we got space if you want to join us this month! It’s Thursday June 22nd 6-7pm cst.

Naming my cane has been a way for me to empower my experience and make it even more personal. It’s a great group to find connection on this tricky blind journey. We laugh a lot and talk about the good days and hard ones and life with a cane.

I’d love for you to come name your cane or share your canes name with us!

Most of you know my canes name is and she has given me the independence I never thought I would have again. I’m so grateful and love cheering others on to pick up their cane and find Freedom again!

Best way to reach me if you want to join our June Happy Hour is email [email protected] or DM on Instagram
