*Welcome to Blind Equality Achievement Month! *

A team player, going the distance! On day 26, meet our next Community
Achiever, Rodriques Best from Greensboro, North Carolina.



My name is Rodriques, and I am blind. I lost my eyesight in 1997 in a car
accident. I can say that going blind changed my life for the better. There
are so many things that I have done as a blind person that I don’t believe
I would have done with sight.

On the business side, I have worked at LC Industries for six years and
currently, work at Industries of the Blind in Greensboro as an Inventory
Control Specialist. I’ve been employed there for about ten years now. Some
of my interests are Beep ball, bowling, and Audio darts. These hobbies have
given me an awesome opportunity to travel the country and meet new people.

In 2013, I started going to Grace Christian University because I felt that
God had a plan for me. I received an associate degree in Leadership in
Ministry, which God has been using me ever since. He has called me to
minister with the youth and is using my background to help keep them in
school and off the streets. I share my personal story at many different
local events like back-to-school activities and church services.

I want God to keep using me to draw others to Him. I am blessed every time
my life’s story changes a young person’s life. It’s important to me to see
them not make the same mistakes that I made, at their age. I believe that
community outreach gives our youth a chance to make better decisions about
their future.

Hit a homerun, when you serve your neighbors and community today! #BEAM
