THIS IS A MYTH. Unless you are family, friends or work colleagues most voices sound pretty familiar, so make sure to remember to say your name when speaking to a someone who is blind. #MythBusterMonday #VisualImpairment #Blindness #Blind #CareerRunway

Even without sight there is still vision. We are all capable of greatness, no matter the obstacles that are placed in our way. If we’re met with something that seems impassible, that just means we have to use our creativity to overcome.
