Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. Show Notes

Episode title and number: Featuring Chef Alicia Connor & Michael Nye #2

Brief summary of the show:

"I do think this project is about, really in some ways, not about blindness at all, but it’s about our shared humanity and our shared fragility. And it’s about incredible mystery of perception, and about adaptation. And I think discrimination grows from the sighted community not understanding or not willing to understand that anyone can adapt to new situations. They just see immediately what happens if they imagine themselves blind, but they don’t realize you adapt by learning." ~Michael Nye
