I'm convinced that building something of your own is the key to a purposeful life. Everyone needs a project to work on.

World White Cane Day 👨🦯 Sighted friends, when you see a white cane, do not lower your eyes. Lift your respect instead. That stick is not a sign of weakness. It is courage, folded into carbon fibre. It is the art of finding one’s way — without ever needing to look. And to my

Sight was never the real beginning. Freedom started the day I stopped chasing what I lost and began creating with what I had—sound, touch, imagination. I lost my sight one unforgettable summer — and spent 13 years learning why https://t.co/K4OPSQsUDl \

There are many ways to lose sight. Only one of them involves your eyes. This is a story about what it means to stay connected to your words when the world wants you to automate them. Writing blind taught me what AI writers are forgetting!

The Unseen Advantage” Here is something funny about being blind — people think I am missing out on a lot. They talk about sunsets, mountains, art. And I nod politely, knowing that what I gain instead is something no sighted person truly gets: uninterrupted focus on what feels

Deadlines. Blind trust. AI links that look real but lead nowhere. This is not about tech. It is about integrity. I call it the Black Box Barrier. And crossing it even once can cost you more than a deadline. #BlackBoxBarrier #TechAndTrust #WritingWithAI

My vision might be different, but my dreams are as big and bold as anyone's. Every audible sunrise, every heartfelt conversation reminds me: you don't need sight to see your purpose, and you don't need permission to shine. #BlindConfidence #PurposeDriven

Disability isn't what you think it is—it's brilliance, resilience, and a whole community making the impossible, possible. Let's celebrate all the ways we adapt, imagine, and succeed. We're not waiting for the world to change—we're leading it. #DisabilityPower

I may not see barriers, but I sure feel them sometimes—but every challenge is just a new route to creativity. If you've ever felt stuck, remember: there's always a way through (and sometimes it's guided by a trusty cane and an unstoppable spirit)! #InclusionRevolution

People often say, "I can't imagine living without sight." Well, I can't imagine a world without courage, laughter, or curiosity. Disability isn't the story; it's the spark that starts it. Let your light shine—however you experience the world. #AccessibilityMatters

This morning, I poured hot water on the floor—because I was holding the glass a little too far from the jug. Timing: perfect. Grace: zero. I have also blushed after chatting up a man who, it turned out, was whispering “hello sweetheart” to his wife on the phone. And yes, I once

Behind every writer is a secret war against fear. Mine involved a trembling razor, a burning flame, and Nano Banana. Here’s what happened: #NanoBanana #AIforWriting #AI The night Nano Banana made me cry
