Lea Cazares started cooking when she was 10 years old. She has always loved cooking. In fact, she loves cooking so much that she makes three Thanksgiving meals...one to test new recipes with friends; one which is the official meal; and one afterward because Thanksgiving was so much fun!
Lea was born sighted but went completely blind at 8. She went to public school, then later transferred to a school for the blind and that's where she learned her skills and confidence. She even taught her sighted friends Braille.

How do you explain blue to a child who's never seen the sky?
That's the question Erica Sanchez Kress poses as a visually impaired person.
Erica lived the first half of her life sighted, and when she graduated from college, she began losing her sight. In the beginning, she had what she calls, "white cane shame", and hid her cane in her closet.
She has gotten past that point, and now considers her cane a fashion accessory...a very helpful one.

Mark Cadigan and Tanja Milojevic were in the same car, just going in different directions yet they ended up together.
Mark and Tanja have been together for five years. They are both blind.
Together, they have created getbraille.com to make the world more accessible for people who are blind/visually impaired. As they say, most companies want their materials accessible, but they may not have the budget. Mark and Tanja want to change that.

Chef Christine Ha started her life sighted. But when she was in her 20's, her sight started to become blurry. She was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and even became taking the medication for it, until she found the right doctor who diagnosed her with Neuromyelitis optica, in which a person's own immune system attacks the optic nerves and spinal cord.
As she continued to lose her sight, Chef Ha embraced the changes that she was going through as her vision wained. Losing her sight may have actually been an impetus for Chef Ha to try out for MasterChef, and ultimately win the third season in 2012.

Jenny Davis looked up in the nighttime skies, and saw stars for the first time in several years. It brought her to tears.
Jenny is on the beginning journey of retinitis pigmentosa and it's rare that someone with RP can see the stars in the darkness.
Sometimes she feels confident. Sometimes she feels vulnerable. A doctor told her the best thing she can do for her vision is to come to peace.
