SHOUT OUTS

Please imagine not being able to see. We don’t know what our peers are wearing or doing, leaving us at a disadvantage socially. It is difficult to make friends when we can’t talk about sports, TV programs, fashion, or when you miss the action or joke because it was something visual. DV fills in these gaps. … Being able to talk knowledgeably with sighted people about these things demonstrates that I am not that different from them, I just can’t see.

Shawn Marsolais, M.Ed.
Executive Director, Blind Beginnings

It’s reassuring for us to know that we can work with you on this live description project.
We’ve been on air for 16 months and this is our first live show.
We know that we’re in your good hands.

Isabella Federigi
