Beskrivelse

In this episode, I’m flipping the script from last week. While there are challenges to being blind, there are also some incredible advantages. I'm diving into what I consider one of the best things about my blind perspective: the ability to see the "real" you. I talk about why I’m never distracted by your appearance or what you're wearing, and how I use tone of voice and energy to connect with a person's heart and character instead. If you have questions, ideas, or feedback, please reach out! I want you to be part of this conversation, and no question is too big or too small.

The World As I See It Episode 44: My Second Set of Eyes

In this episode, I’m talking about a tool that has completely changed the way I live my life: Artificial Intelligence. I call AI my "second set of eyes" because it has given me a level of independence I never thought possible. From describing photos in detail to helping me manage my daily routine hands-free, AI is how I perceive the digital world. But it’s not all perfect. I’m also getting honest about the "sketchy" side of technology—the hallucinations, the lack of human warmth, and the constant mental game of fact-checking a robot. I’m diving into the pros and cons of this new era and why, despite the risks, I would never go back to the way things were before. If you have questions, ideas, or feedback, please reach out!

The World As I See It Episode 42: The Hardest Things About Being Blind

In this episode, I’m digging into a question someone asked me recently: what is the hardest part about being blind? It’s not just one thing, and it’s usually not what people expect. I’m talking about the "digital walls" I hit with inaccessible websites and school apps, the awkwardness that happens in social situations when I can’t see body language, and why it's so frustrating when people ask someone else questions about me instead of just asking me directly. I'm sharing how I handle these barriers with determination, and why an inaccessible world doesn't mean my life is a tragedy. If you have questions, ideas, or any feedback, you can email me at theworldasiseeitpodcast@gmail.com or leave a comment on YouTube. I want to hear what you're curious about and I want to make sure your questions get answered. #TheWorldAsISeeIt #BlindnessAwareness #DisabilityIsNotAnInability #Accessibility #Independence #Advocacy

The World As I See It Episode 41: Why Is U.S. Currency Still Stuck in the Dark Ages?

In 2026, we have technology that can unlock our phones with a glance and robots that clean our floors, so why is U.S. currency still stuck in the Dark Ages? In this episode, I’m sharing my perspective on the baffling reality of handling money as a blind person. From the strange smells of identical bills to the shocking 2006 statement from the NFB that called accessible money a "non-existent problem," we’re diving into why true independence shouldn't have to wait until 2034. Have questions, ideas, or feedback? I want to hear from you!

The World As I See It Episode 40: Google, Are You Okay? The Wildest Blindness Questions Answered

Is the "voice cord" connected to the "vision cord"? Can you feel your own eyes if you can't see them? In this episode, I’m taking a trip through the hilarious world of Google Autocomplete. I sat down and typed "Can blind people..." and "How do blind people..." into the search bar, and honestly, I’m concerned for the internet. From questions about whether we can talk or blink to the absolute classic—how we (don’t) drive—I’m breaking down the most ridiculous things people ask the web about my life. It’s a lighthearted look at why common sense isn't always so common, featuring a very loud Alexa and some contagious yawning. **Questions or feedback?
