[Blindtlk] Walking down the aisle

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Arielle,

Think of this situation logically, everyone who knows you, knows 
you're blind and knows you use a cane. So then, what's the reasoning 
being covering it, changing its color which is, I think diluting the 
powerful symbol we project. Forgive me if I am having a hair trigger 
or jumping to some albeit etherial conclusion, but need you cover the thing?
