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.

Where were you on 9/11?
Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center.
Blind since birth, Michael took control of his panicked co-workers, and, with the help of his guide dog, Roselle, led his frightened friends down 78 flights of stairs through fire, smoke and debris.
He became an international hero. One of the main lessons he learned was this: Don't worry about what you can't control.
Listen to his firsthand account of the day the world cried for America.

Sex for a person who is blind is different because, "We touch instead of see. We feel what we're doing," says Blind Canadian Podcaster Victor Gouveia. "We feel our partner's pleasure."
Within days of getting married, Victor went blind from diabetic retinopathy. Then, within a couple of months, his daughter was born. A brief flash of light allowed him to see his baby's face before he went blind 22 years ago.
His Meet My Blind Life podcast introduces the world to people who are blind/visually impaired.

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.

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."
