Your assistance is needed. Today I am collecting some data for a project I am working on--I would love your reflections and wisdom which I may not have yet discovered. I am looking for examples of where blind people have been creative in solving problems or overcoming barriers. Solutions that are authentic to them and that they developed themselves or form the input of other blind people. Thank you! Feel free to put comments here or send me notes at [email protected]

Wisconsin born and raised, Baltimore is now home. Proud father, blessed husband, with the honor, joy, and challenge of serving as President of the National Federation of the Blind. I have built a career on innovating educational work for blind children. Striving daily to discover more of life's wisdom, dedicated to sharing more love in the world, ready for a laugh, humbled by trying to play guitar, and always ready to cook something new in my little free time. Views here are my own.
Merry Christmas! We are enjoying #MushroomFM while we enjoy family & friends. After a great prime rib dinner, we are playing Kids Against Mturity.
I can't think of a better way to spend this New Gadget Day and the memory of my other friend who is gone to soon. If you can help Qualik take some of this weight off his shoulders, it would mean a lot to me as we close the year. For those of you who do not yet know Qualik personally, his inherent giving spirit reminds me of my friend Rachel. He puts a lot of good in the world and does not ask for anything in return. Thank you in advance for your kindness! https://connect.vestwell.com/gift/maryland-able/fIU9gKd9YEGjkDwhIgy9ZQ (2/2)
Today is New Gadget Day! In honor of my good friend Rachel Olivero, I have made a contribution to a young man in our life who is battling cancer. If you make a contribution to his Maryland ABLE account, see link below, it is tax-deductible in Maryland and may be in other states. Most importantly, it will help our friend Qualik cover the significant medical expenses he is incurring in his 20s. (1/2)
#mushroomfm It seems to me that snowmen only really have 2 good breakfast choices: Frosty flakes or Ice Crispies
#mushroomfm Thanks for the correction on the settings, I have been tuned in from the beginning, enjoying everyone's contributions. Thanks for the holiday cheer!
#mushroomfm For the Dancer Table, although Santa is an international figure, we have identified his nationality as… North Polish
Our partners are central to our success. Honored to share time today with Don Overton of the Blinded Veterans Association. Our blinded veterans are an important voice in the story of blind people and our contributions to society.
I am very sad to share the news of the passing of my father Sebastian Riccobono on Wednesday of this week. Our family appreciates the support already shared with us during this unexpected and difficult time. Here is the link to the online obituary including service arrangements with military honors.
