The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people because we know that low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want, blindness is not what holds you back.

This article is well worth reading. I have pasted it into the body of this message to make it easier to read.Miami University student honored for winning national Braille Challenge
The Inclusive Education major uses braille every day in her studies
by Margo Rutledge Kissell • Published 5/06/26

First-year student MaKenzie Love, a member of the Honors College, stands beneath
Upham Arch (photo courtesy of MaKenzie Love).
MaKenzie Love was honored by the Ohio legislature recently for being the first Ohioan to
win the national Braille Challenge in 2025 as a high school senior.
Now a first-year student at Miami University, Love told lawmakers about the importance of
Braille, a system of writing that uses characters made up of raised dots. She uses braille
every day at Miami and has even read the “Harry Potter” series in Braille.
“Braille literacy is absolutely crucial to the lives of blind and visually impaired students.
Over 90 percent of students that read braille are employed, but the startling statistic is that
only 10 percent of blind people in the United States read Braille,” Love, of Commercial
Point, told lawmakers on the floor of the Ohio House of Representatives in late March.
“We need to get out there as a nation and as a community, and as Ohioans especially, to
encourage Braille literacy throughout the state and the nation.”
Love, who was born blind, is in Miami’s new Inclusive Education program. She wants to
teach PK-5 students with visual impairments.
Ashley Cartell Johnson, clinical professor of Educational Psychology and coordinator of
the Inclusive Education program, said, “The Inclusive Education major prepares teacher
candidates to teach all learners, including students with disabilities and multilingual
learners, in today's increasingly diverse classrooms. It is the first and only program in Ohio
to offer a comprehensive and integrated major that leads to blended licensure in primary
general education and K-12 special education (both mild/moderate and
moderate/intensive licenses) and to an endorsement in TESOL (Teaching English to
Speakers of Other Languages).”
Cartell Johnson described Love as a “dedicated and passionate inclusive education
teacher candidate. We are confident that MaKenzie will shape, lead, and define the
movement toward inclusive and accessible classrooms that support and honor all
learners."
Love said she plans to attend graduate school after earning her bachelor’s degree.
‘I absolutely love it here’
Love, who made President’s List her first semester, said she’s having a great experience at
Miami. “I absolutely love it here. I love the friends that I’ve made, and I have met so many
wonderful people.”
She chose Miami because of the education program in the College of Education, Health,
and Society.
“It really stuck out to me. I loved campus when I first came to visit,” she said, noting that
she enjoys being in the Honors College and living in an honors residence hall on Western
Campus.
Zeb Baker, dean of the Honors College, said Love is the embodiment of the ‘citizen
scholars’ the Honors College has taken as its mission to produce — those who use their
education to advance the common good.
“MaKenzie is the kind of student who reminds all of us who are fortunate to work with her
why we entered this profession in the first place,” he said. “Her inexhaustible love of
learning and bottomless energy to do as much good as she possibly can through that
learning are an inspiration.”
Love appreciates having the Center for Student Disability Services and the AccessMU
Center on campus for assistance when students need them. For her, that ranges from
getting materials in Braille and tactile graphics, using assistive technology, to meeting with
her professors in advance “so they know how best to serve me in class.”
She demonstrated how she uses the BrailleNote device (watch video below). She also uses
Job Access with Speech (JAWS), a screen reader designed for blind and visually impaired
users to navigate computers via text-to-speech or refreshable braille displays. It provides
full access to applications, websites, and documents.
Love is able to get around campus without the aid of a guide dog. She walked from a class
in Shideler Hall to the Armstrong Student Center’s Shade Room for this interview.
“I think the use of the white cane is absolutely crucial to mobility and to being able to get
around,” she said. “It's so important to have those cane skills before you could
contemplate getting a guide dog.”

Hello,

Below, you will find the list of all of the movies that are going to be shown this summer for the CAPA summer movie series at the Ohio Theatre. Usually at our main meeting, we discuss which movies we would like to have audio described and give Jane a list of our interest. Unfortunately, she would like to know by this Tuesday the 12th what ones we may be interested in. I know that’s only a couple of days, but I was not able to post it on this list. Serve until it was made public today. So, if there are any of the below movies that you would particularly like to see, please let me know, and I will pass the message along to Jane. There are several of them that have my interest.

Annette.

Subject: 2026 CAPA Summer Movie Series

﻿

Hi!  Here are the movies for this year’s CAPA Summer Movie Series.  Please keep this information confidential and ask your members  not to share it before the announcement in this coming Sunday’s paper. I would appreciate your responses by next Tuesday, 5/12, so that we can make the schedule and start getting the word out.    If you could give me some idea of rank order by most desired to least, I will keep that in mind when putting together a schedule. We are planning on either four or five movies over the course of the series.  Both CAPA and I appreciate your input to provide you with the movies you want to see. 

Remember, if a movie you really want to see isn’t on the schedule of audio described movies, you can always make a request.  Please try to make any requests with enough time for CAPA to arrange for an audio describer and for the describer to have time to prepare.  

Thanks!

Jane

Hello,

I wanted to remind all of you that our next chapter meeting will be this Saturday, May 16, at 10:00 AM at the Clinton Heights Lutheran Church at 15 Clinton Heights Ave. I also wanted to remind everybody that we will be discussing episode three of the walking alone and marching together podcast, so hopefully everyone will get a chance to listen. These discussions have been very interesting so far.

We also will have a guest speaker talking about accessibility at Huntington Bank.

This month, I have not made any official plans for us to go out to dinner after the meeting. Misty and I would not be able to join you, so if some of you wanted to go out, please do so.

Looking forward to seeing everybody on Saturday.

Annette.

Hello,

I wanted to remind everybody that tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20 at 11:00 AM will be our monthly radio show on Voicecorps. This month, my guest will be MaKenzie Love. MaKenzie recently won the national braille challenge and was recognized for this achievement in the Ohio House of Representatives. She grew up around the Federation and participated in several BELL academies. She will share all of her experiences with us, so I hope all of you will be able to listen. To TuneIn, you can go to voicecorps.org or enable the Voicecorps skill on any Alexa device. If you are unable to listen at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning, it will re-broadcast at 5:00 AM Thursday morning.

You will not want to miss this. MaKenzie is an outstanding young lady and her story of her achievement is very interesting and emphasizes her love of braille. A love that many of us share.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people because we know that low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want, blindness is not what holds you back.

Hello,

I hope all of you are having a great summer so far! I know that I am. It has been very, very busy. And now I am getting ready for national convention!

I wanted to remind all of you that our next chapter meeting will be this upcoming Saturday, June 20th at 10:00 AM at the Clinton Heights Lutheran Church at 15 Clinton Heights Ave. 

Unfortunately, I wanted to let all of you know that I will not be at the meeting Saturday. I believe this is the first chapter meeting I have missed in many years. And I am disappointed to be missing it this month. However, Virginia.Misty and me tickets to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton cover show up in Holmes County. The concert is Saturday at 2 o’clock, so in order to get up there in time, we have to miss the meeting. But rest assured, Dorothy will be able to take care of things. I also know that Erik will be a great help. So, I did not make any plans for us to go to dinner after the meeting.

After this Saturday, our next meeting will be on Saturday, August 1. We will definitely make some plans for that one.

Everyone take care and is always if you need anything please feel free to reach out.

Annette.

Madam President and fellow members:

Good afternoon!  Unfortunately, I will also be completely unavailable this
weekend as I am volunteering at an event assisting with Assistive Listening
Devices.  However, I do have some good news. Earlier this week, I met with
CAPA regarding their website accessibility issues.  I am pleased to
announce that CAPA will be removing the UserWay overlay from its site,
which has been causing so many accessibility problems.  In addition, they
are exploring additional options for improving and maintaining the
accessibility of the site in the long term.  So I expect to have more good
news regarding this effort, perhaps i time for our August meeting..

Don't forget that the National Convention is coming up, and if you can't be
there in person, check out the virtual offerings and I believe our Chapter
Vice President is hosting a banquet watch party.

Have a great meeting Saturday!

Todd Elzey

Hello,

Well, it must be a very busy summer for everyone. We have several members who are unable to join us for the meeting tomorrow. Therefore, since we probably wouldn’t have much of a group there, we have decided to go ahead and cancel. I do want to remind everyone of a couple of items, though.

First of all, our next meeting will now be on Saturday, August 1 at 10 o’clock at the Clinton Heights Lutheran Church at 15 Clinton Heights Ave. Hopefully everyone will be able to make it then since this will be at our normal meeting time and place. We will also arrange to go somewhere good for lunch afterwards.

Also, I wanted to remind everyone to sign up for the virtual national convention experience. If you are unable to actually join us in Austin, you can still participate virtually. Go to nfb.org/conventions . Dorothy also wanted me to remind everybody about her banquet watch party that she is hosting at her home on Wednesday, July 8. Dinner will be served at 6:00 PM and then everyone will gather around to listen to the banquet from Austin. If you have not yet confirmed that you are coming with  with her, please let me know so I can make sure she knows you are coming. As of now, she is expecting Marilyn, Linda, Russel, Shelby, and MaryLynn. If anyone else would like to go, you are very welcome, just let us know.

In the meantime, I hope all of you have a very wonderful summer and enjoy listening to convention. I’m sure those of us who are going. We’ll have lots to share on August 1.

Annette.
