Finding a New Voice

from Reflections · host julia bonnett, Ramya Amuthan

What happens when the life you built around your talent suddenly falls apart in front of thousands of people? In this AMI-original, writer and performer Julia Bonnett reflects on the night her vision loss led her to walk off the stage mid-performance. What began as a humiliating moment became a turning point that forced her to confront the end of her opera career and re-imagine her way forward. Through music, research, and personal reflection, Julia examines why we get stuck in the first place, and brings us along as she figures out how to let go of the illusion that we're ever finished changing.
