When Melissa Reyna gave birth, the nurses wouldn't bring her daughter to her unless there was another person in the room. When she asked, why, they told her because she couldn't see.
That really jump-started Melissa's urge to advocate for herself, and others with visual impairments or blindness.
She now has created a business teaching other blind/visually impaired people how to roller skate.

A motorcycle accident shattered Ed Davis' face, his eyesight, but not his life.
After going through a depression from not helping his family when he lost his eyesight, Ed decided to do something about it.
He sought help from a blind organization in Los Angeles, where he met other people who were blind, and he realized it wasn't as bad as he thought.
Ed is now Vice President of his National Federation of the Blind chapter in Los Angeles. He started interest groups where anyone can join no matter if they are from another organization or not.
That is how I met Ed because they reached out to me to share cooking tips and recipes.
You're going to enjoy Ed's recipe, Chili Con Carne, which can be found on our Cooking Without Looking TV Show website: www.cookingwithoutlookingtv.wordpress.com

"What does a blind person look like?" Chad asked.

When Brianna Scerenscko turned 21, her parents made good on their promise to take her to Las Vegas. So, when her dad took her to the bar, the bartender didn't want to give her a drink because she couldn't make eye contact which to him meant that she was drunk. When she said she would never be able to make eye contact because she was blind, he apologized profusely.
