While many in and beyond the disabilities community know the name of Judith Heumann who recently died, not as many know the name, Dr. Bill Takeshita. Certainly not as accomplished internationally as Heumann, he was a long-time advocate for those of us who are blind or low-vision. You can read the article from Braille Institute’s blog here about his teaching, speaking and lecturing on all things related to blindness. https://brailleinstitute.org/blog/our-stories/remembering-dr-bill-takeshita-a-guiding-light

I am a totally blind freelance writer and disabilities advocate living with my wife, Amy, in Fort Wayne, IN. My passion is sparking awareness among those who are sighted about the adaptations we who are blind make everyday and encouragement for others who are blind to be bold in navigating life's contours.
