[CT-NFB] Spring Issue of the Federationist

[Melissa Carney]

For the last couple issues of the Federationist, we have stuck to themes in order to make the publication more cohesive. That being said, the journey to blindness means something different to everyone, and, as such, is a broad topic that speaks to diverse experiences. You can write about anything you like, such as a pass time that you enjoy as a blind person, what  accessibility means to you, how you navigate coursework, etc. The theme is just the umbrella. I hope that helps. 

Best,
Melissa

>> In order to bring a bit of positivity and creativity into what is most likely a dreary spring for many of us, the next issue of the Federationist will focus on journeys to blindness. What was it like to grow up as a blind individual? Did you lose your sight later in life? What did the adjustment process look like for you? What trials, tribulations, lessons, and achievements did you experience? Blindness is rarely glamorous; share your story, the good and the bad.
