She opens up about her love for fashion, music, cooking, and her guide dog Draco, while reminding listeners that blindness does not have one look, one story, or one limitation.Together, Angie and Blaque Diamond discuss the realities of being blind women, the challenges of job searching while disabled, the importance of independence, and the power of creating your own platform when the world does not always make room for you. Their conversation also touches on motherhood, autism advocacy, cooking with confidence, and what it means to keep going even when life feels overwhelming.This episode is a reminder to stop only talking about your dreams and start building them. Angie’s message is clear: if you have a passion, pursue it, speak it out loud, and do not give up—because manifestation, determination, and faith can open doors you never expected.To learn more about Angie’s podcast show visit: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-is-what-blind-looks-like/id1440644869Want to be spotlighted on the “Women on the Rise” segment of the BFF Empowerment Podcast?
