Born in 1953, she got the full crazy treatment growing up blind. Yet, somehow she came through it all very well adjusted-a working wife and mother she has the same desires as anyone..
Her life is one lived just before the technology boom hit – before ride-share apps and other helpful smart phone tricks. Take a trip back with a very smart tour guide – growing up blind and living your best life in the latter half of the 20th century.
She was pushed to be a free-range child until she changed schools, and the rules changed. She wasn’t given a long cane, but she was told to always use a sighted guide and never take the stairs. One summer after 8th grade she got “a taste of using a long cane for the first time” but she wouldn’t be allowed to use a long cane until High School. The fascination is how we get away with this, still today. Blind children still made to feel like something is wrong with them – but it’s the substandard tools that is keeping them from truly being equal.
