Rewriting the Narrative with Shanell Matos

1) Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street welcome Shanell Matos for a powerful conversation about vision loss, motherhood, advocacy, and rebuilding life with courage and honesty. Shanell shares how she celebrated ten years of vision loss by completing a 44-mile tandem bike ride in New York City, reflects on losing her vision as a new mom, and talks about learning Braille, asking for help, finding resources, and stepping into advocacy through tools like RightHear and Discover Live. Her story is a reminder that success does not always start pretty, but showing up, doing the hard thing, and refusing to let fear write the story can change everything. 2) Contact InfoGuest: Shanell Matos Featured Resources: RightHear and Discover LiveAftersight Website: aftersight.org Email: [email protected] Phone: (720) 712-8856Producer Contact Jonathan Price Podcast and Program Producer, Aftersight [email protected]) Show CreditsHosted by: Penn Street and Moses Street Guest: Shanell Matos Produced by: Jonathan Price Podcast: The Blind Chick Presented by: Aftersight
