I had the privilege to meet Brandon Biggs, whose blindness did not stop him from pursuing his acting passion and skills.
Get to know Brandon in this interview with ABC news: Blind Actor Shines in Local Theater Company, by Teresa Garcia.
After reading Brandon‘s interview and reflecting on my own blindness and abilities, I now have more confidence to walk without canes, instead of 2 white canes, in certain situations, relying on sounds and knowledge of my surroundings for orientation, like Brandon does while on stage acting.
Did Brandon’s interview encourage you in any way? Do you think you might attempt a new task, project, new job, or career, in spite of your perceived physical challenges, some might believe can be an obstacle for success? This interview demonstrates that perceived abilities are not the same as genuine abilities. The value of putting our differences to work can deliver superior results.
We all look forward to hearing from you.
