One night after Tara's friends were partying, they asked her if she wanted to go to get something to eat. She said sure, but, when they handed her the keys, she reminded them that she was blind.
"I don't want to be treated like I'm blind," Tara said. "My parents told me if you want something, you have to work for it. You can cry but then you have to come out of the corner because we have work to do."

Annie Obasih was going blind since birth, but it was when she was about 26 when she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to support her children if she lost her job because of her visual impairment.
But, after holding major jobs with New York, she retired and started her journey to creating, "Annie's Gourmet Syrup." Annie created flavors that you have never heard of including jalapeno pepper syrup, and she's creating even more even as we speak.
She wants all of us to know that blindness doesn't have to hold people back.
#ChangingTheWayWeSeeBlindness
Annie's syrup goes well with the cornbread pudding recipe she shares with us. To find the recipe, go to our website at www.cookingwithoutlookingtv.wordpress.com

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.
