inspirations - Beyond Disability - Sadi

Continuing our series. I sat down with my inspiration Sadi Taylor. while I feel like we initially connected in our discussion about some of the crazy stuff that people say do and think. There was a really positive message here. Blunt honesty is the conversation that when listened to creates empathy. or maybe some basic respect. Follow Sadi on her journey. Listen. share and discuss. Ask questions, Blind folks are here, We're not looking to be a burden to everyone we encounter, we don't walk around looking for pity or sympathy. We get frustrated like you. We feel things like you. We just want to live life like you. without giving up basic freedoms like access to public buildings and to spend our money as easily and cautiously as you. We just ask for those reasonable accommodations that have always been offered to all equally as courtesy.
